Description

Theorizing Images is, in many places, an impressive synthesis of the highly interdisciplinary landscape of visual studies. Scholars needing a foundation in visual culture would benefit from this text, as would those needing to give voice to the oftenunnamed or poorly explored relationships among objects, time, language, and meaning-making. The text is hampered, in places, by its Eurocentric focus and the language and cultural barriers that are occasionally presented but not resolved, yet all readers will likely find a good portion of the text evocative and resonant, even if not all the chapters possess the same intellectual heft, narrative elegance, or theoretical sophistication.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
