• Sommario/riassunto: "We approach visual culture pedagogy through an account of our academic training and work histories as they informed our book Practices of Looking: An Introduction to Visual Culture in its three very different editions (2001, 2008, 2017). Our experience was unusually broad, spanning art and media practice, cultural studies, critical theory, cultural history, and media activism. With this mixed approach, we helped to introduce a range of images and image-making cultures and technologies, beyond art and film, to the then-nascent visual culture field. In this account, we aim to show how visual culture was, in the 1990s, not just a new direction in art history or a merger between art history and film studies. Rather, the field's emergence was also motivated by political movements and their multimodal forms of practice, as well as by a commitment to recognizing and studying images and imaging technologies at work in a host of institutions and practices beyond fine art, popular media, and art cinema"--
