  • the geographies of cultural geography ii Visual Culture
    Progress in Human Geography, 2012
    Co-Authors: Divya P Toliakelly
    Abstract:

    Geography is a Visual discipline and as such holds a complex relationship with Visual Culture. In the last two decades the collaborations between geographers and artists has grown exponentially. In an era where public impact and engagement are politically encouraged, there is a risk of collapsing the differences between Visual Culture as a discipline and the Visual as an accessible mode of research communication. This paper reviews the ways in which collaborations between geographers and Visual artists have taken shape, and argues for a careful and respectful engagement between them.

  • The Art of Gaming: Knowledge Construction in Visual Culture Learning Communities
    Advances in Social Networking and Online Communities, 2014
    Co-Authors: Kerry Freedman
    Abstract:

    Students learn about relationships, form social groups, and interact with peers in and through Visual Culture. This chapter is a discussion of the range of Visual arts learning, from the development of art skills and concepts to learning about social aspects of art and design, that occurs in Visual Culture learning communities and the particular conditions and effects of Visual Culture that support niche communities tied to adolescents’ and young adults’ artistic and social interests. In this chapter, the author theorizes about ways that Visual Culture supports online niche communities and characteristics of art and design education that sustain communal life.

  • Visual Culture learning communities how and what students come to know in informal art groups
    Studies in Art Education: A Journal of Issues and Research in Art Education, 2013
    Co-Authors: Kerry Freedman, Emiel Heijnen, Mira Kalliotavin, Andrea Karpati, Laszlo F Papp
    Abstract:

    This article is the report of a large-scale, international research project involving focus group interviews of adolescent and young adult members of a variety of self-initiated Visual Culture groups in five urban areas (Amsterdam, Budapest, Chicago, Helsinki, and Hong Kong). Each group was established by young people around their interests in the production and use of a form of Visual Culture. The research questions for this study focused on: a) conditions of Visual Culture communities, b) group practices in Visual Culture communities, c) individuals in a Visual Culture community, and d) peer teaching and learning processes. The results of this study indicate that Visual Culture groups act as powerful student communities for auto-didactic and peer initiated learning. Although the education that occurs in these groups may be considered informal, students maintain them to increase their art knowledge and skills, as well as for entertainment and social networking. Several answers to each research question a...

  • teaching Visual Culture curriculum aesthetics and the social life of art
    2003
    Co-Authors: Kerry Freedman
    Abstract:

    Global Culture is rapidly shifting from text-based communication to image saturation. Visual Culture is everywhere: on television, in museums, in magazines, in movie theaters, on billboards, on the internet, and in shopping malls. As a result, learning about the complexities of Visual Culture is becoming ever more critical to human development. This is the first book to focus on teaching Visual Culture. The author provides the theoretical basis on which to develop a curriculum that lays the groundwork for postmodern art education (K-12 and higher education). Drawing on social, cognitive, and curricular theory foundations, Freedman offers a conceptual framework for teaching the Visual arts from a cultural standpoint. Chapters discuss: Visual Culture in a democracy; aesthetics in curriculum; philosophical and historical considerations; recent changes in the field of art history; connections between art, student development, and cognition; interpretation of art inside and outside of school; the role of fine arts in curriculum; technology and teaching; television as the national curriculum; student artistic production and assessment; and much more.

  • Interpreting Gender and Visual Culture in Art Classrooms
    1994
    Co-Authors: Kerry Freedman
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this paper is to present gender issues in the context of a broad definition of art education that includes many types of Visual Culture and a social reconstruction of the school subject. Specifically, the paper focuses on three gender issues: (a) the representation of females in Visual Culture; (b) females as respondents to Visual Culture; and (c) the gendered characteristics of cultural production by students. The foundational importance of presenting cultural context and connections of Visual Culture to identity are also discussed in relation to learning. The paper concludes with five recommendations for practice.

  • Visual Culture Versus Virtual Culture: When the Visual Culture is All Made by Virtual World Users
    International Journal of Virtual and Augmented Reality, 2017
    Co-Authors: Hsiao-cheng Sandrine Han
    Abstract:

    Visual Culture in virtual worlds is not purely authentic or purely imaginative. When Culture emerges in a Visualized virtual world, where everything that can be seen is created by its users, Visual Culture can be diverse and complex. Users from different cultural backgrounds perceive and construct meanings that may be different from those intended by the virtual world creators and other users. The author used observation, survey, and interview as her research methodologies to analyze Visual Culture in a Visualized virtual world where the content is created by its users.

  • Diaspora and Visual Culture: Representing Africans and Jews
    1999
    Co-Authors: Nicholas Mirzoeff
    Abstract:

    This is the first book to examine the connections between diaspora - the movement, whether forced or voluntary, of a nation or group of people from one homeland to another - and its representations in Visual Culture. Two foundational articles by Stuart Hall and the painter R.B. Kitaj provide points of departure for an exploration of the meanings of diaspora for cultural identity and artistic practice. A distinguished group of contributors, who include Alan Sinfield, Irit Rogoff, and Eunice Lipton, address the rich complexity of diasporic Cultures and art, but with a focus on the Visual Culture of the Jewish and African diasporas. Individual articles address the Jewish diaspora and Visual Culture from the 19th century to the present, and work by African American and Afro-Brazilian artists.

  • an introduction to Visual Culture
    1999
    Co-Authors: Nicholas Mirzoeff
    Abstract:

    This is a wide-ranging and stimulating introduction to the history and theory of Visual Culture from painting to the computer and television screen. It will prove indispensable to students of art and art history as well as students of cultural studies. Mirzoeff begins by defining what Visual Culture is, and explores how and why Visual media - fine art, cinema, the Internet, advertising, performance, photography, television - have become so central to contemporary everyday life. He argues that the Visual is replacing the linguistic as our primary means of communicating with each other and of understanding our postmodern world. Part One of the Introduction presents a history of modern ways of seeing, including: * the formal practices of line and colour in painting * photographys claim to represent reality * virtual reality, from the nineteenth century to the present. In Part Two, Mirzoeff examines: * the Visualization of race, sexuality and human identity in Culture * gender and sexuality and questions of the gaze in Visual Culture * representations of encounters with the other, from colonial narratives to Science Fiction texts such as The Thing, Independence Day, Star Trek and The X-Files * the death of Princess Diana and the popular mourning which followed as marking the coming of age of a global Visualized Culture.
