Contributors discuss an array of images--photographs, films, videos, press images, digital images, paintings, sculptures, and drawings--from everyday life, museums and galleries, and institutional contexts such as the press and political arena. The themes discussed include: politics of institutional exhibition and perception of images; censored, repressed, and banned images; transformations to practices of not looking as a result of new media interventions; images in history and memory; not looking at images of bodies and cultures on the margins; responses to images of trauma; and embodied vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frances Guerin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138548626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrances Guerin is Senior Lecturer in the School of Arts at the University of Kent, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44181808152691,"sku":"9.78114E+12","price":95.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_e614f26f-7e9a-401e-999e-410f282d87e9.jpg?v=1766932972","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/on-not-looking-the-paradox-of-contemporary-visual-culture-9781138548626","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
