Course summary
This program proposes an interdisciplinary means of approaching the vast world of visual culture within a historical and contemporary context bringing into the forefront, the impact of the "visuality" of popular culture, the new media and technology of digital and electronic media and the Internet. Four specific fields of inquiry in Visual Culture Studies include: the interactivity of viewed object and viewer; the "hyperreality" and "hypervisuality" of imaging where new ways of seeing and viewing engenders a new visual literacy; the simultaneity of image/sound/text where the convergence of data that is read, viewed and heard as one piece of information, brings about a heightened engagement; and the relationship between the visual event and the consumer/participant/observer.
