Summary
Bringing together essays from contemporary scholars such as Jean Baudrillard, Terry Barrett, Philippe Dubois, Willem Elias, Annette W. Balkema, and Jan Simons, this collection marks a growing interest in the suggestive yet problematic relation between our experience of photography, video, and film and our perception of the visual world. As an essential concentration of contemporary thought, this selection provides an excellent introduction for newcomers and a fresh point of view for those already engaged in discussions about photography, art, history, education, culture, and criticism.
