Book Description
Visions of Modernity explores the relationship between technology, society, and identity that underpins contemporary "media culture." By tracing particular historical shifts as they have intersected with different camera technologiesùphotography, cinema, televisionùScott McQuire engages with broad social and political transformations. Focusing on the camera, McQuire offers a useful point of entry for understanding the processes of modernization and the dramatic changesùperceptual, experiential, epistemologicalùthat characterize modernity. This book will be of interest to students of sociology, media and cultural studies, art history, geography, and anthropology.
