Beschreibung
Hidden, non-visible, and partly non-visual entities require specific modes of visualizing that go beyond infographics as the idea that informs most of today’s understanding of visualization. This book proposes a critical, multidisciplinary approach to identifying these individual domains in the global stream of visualization practices and intentions, as an invitation to explore the all-encompassing term visualization from a new methodological vantage point and to situate the phenomenon of visualization in terms that are more appropriate to the plurality of its manifestations.
Erna Fiorentini is Extraordinary Professor of Art History and academic staff member at the IKB – Institute for the History of Art and Architecture of the KIT – Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Her latest book on topics of visuality and visual culture, Visual Worlds. Looking, Images, Visual Disciplines, co-authored with James Elkins, was published by Oxford University Press in 2021.
