Nicholas Mirzoeff: An Introduction to Visual Culture

An Introduction to Visual Culture


Description

An Introduction to Visual Culture provides a wide-ranging introduction to the now established interdisciplinary field of visual culture. Mapping a global history and theory of visual culture, An Introduction to Visual Culture asks how and why visual media have become so central to everyday life. This new, completely updated second edition has been adapted to match the challenges of interpreting globalization since the publication of the first edition a decade ago. Improved text design and colour images throughout make it an even more valuable teaching tool. Brand new features in the second edition include Key Image studies from Holbein's The Ambassadors, to Blade Runner and the Abu Ghraib atrocities; and a Key Words section in each chapter, discussing vital critical terms and the debates that surround them. In this innovative, thoroughly revised and extended edition, Nicholas Mirzoeff explores: * an extensive range of visual forms from painting, sculpture, and photography to television, cinema, and the Internet * the centrality of 'race' and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and the body in shaping visual culture * the importance of images of natural disaster and conflict, such as Hurricane Katrina and the ongoing war in Iraq.

Mama Gena takes that sentiment one step further, and exhorts women to do what they love, because everything will follow: success, romance, wealth, fulfillment. Relationship expert Regena Thomashauer (a.k.a. Mama Gena) urges women to learn this simple principle: self-indulgence is the key to self-empowerment. But in order to pursue pleasure, one must know pleasure. Believe it or not, most women can't pinpoint what really makes them happy. After all, are women ever taught to celebrate their appetites, whether it's for chocolate ice cream, or a more entertaining sex life? In her 'School of Womanly Arts', Mama Gena transforms ordinary women into glowing Sister Goddesses - An Introduction to Visual Culture pdf women fully in tune with the mystical, creative power of their sensuality - and teaches them how to use their creative power to build the life they want. She explains the lost art of giving in to desires (even if it's just for a new lipstick), seeking fun and pleasure at home and at work, and navigating the world using feminine power instead of patriarchal rules.
