Visual Worlds

Ideal for first-year university students from diverse backgrounds, Visual Worlds: Looking, Images, Visual Disciplines provides a full introduction to the visual world across all the fields that theorize it. In contrast with typical visual culture texts, it looks beyond the arts, taking a comparative approach that considers a number of fields including art history and theory but also epistemology, ontology, vision science, neurology, cognitive psychology, law, advertising, medicine, warfare, and more.
