Summary:
"Dikovitskaya gives us an archaeology of visual culture, examining
the cultural turn away from art history and the emergence of visual
studies. Drawing on responses to questionnaires, oral histories, and
interviews with the field's leading scholars, she discusses first the
field's history, theoretical frameworks, and methods, and then
examines four programs and courses in visual culture - those at the
University of Rochester, the University of Chicago, the University of
California at Irvine, and the State University of New York at Stony
Brook. Bringing together considerations of theory and practice,
Dikovitskaya charts the future of visual culture programs in the
twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.
