An Introduction to Visual Culture:
"An Introduction to Visual Culture
by Authors: Nicholas Mirzoeff
Released: July, 1999
ISBN: 0415158761
Paperback "
The life we lead today is very different from the one we grew accustomed to twenty, ten, or even five years ago. Information that took centuries to accumulate can now be sent from Singapore to San Antonio at the click of a button. More and more, our digital culture is depending on non-textual imagery to translate this information into a vast collage of cultural messages. It is the study of these images and the culture that interacts with them that Dr. Nicholas Mirzoeff is concerned with in his book An Introduction to Visual Culture (1999, Publisher: Routledge). Much of Mirzoeffs book is dedicated to examining the expansive manner in which the image is playing a role in the development of our global culture.
