Amazon.com description: Product Description: Visual technology saturates everyday life. Theories of the visualânow key to debates across cultural studies, social theory, art history, literary studies and philosophyâhave interpreted this new condition as the beginning of a dystopian future, of cultural decline, social disempowerment and political passivity. Intellectualsâfrom Baudelaire to Debord, Benjamin, Virilio, Jameson, Baudrillard and Derridaâhave explored how technology not only reinvents the visual, but also changes the nature of culture itself. The heartland of all such cultural analysis has been the city, from Baudelaire's flaneur to Benjamin's arcades.The Architecture of the Visible presents a wide-ranging critical reassessment of contemporary approaches to visual culture through an analysis of pivotal technological innovation from the telescope, through photography to film. Drawing on the examples of Paris and New Yorkâtwo key world cities for over two centuriesâGraham MacPhee analyzes how visual technology is revolutionizing the landscape of modern thought, politics and culture.
