Research Methods for Cultural Studies: Analysing Visual Experience [3981]

"Although some disciplines and fields have been more successful in ignoring it, cultural studies has always implied the analysis of the visual. Indeed, since cultural studies is concerned with 'how culture is produced, enacted and consumed' (Lister and Wells 2000: 61), it is inevitable that scholars working in this area would engage with the visual. As Martin Lister and Liz Wells argue, 'it is seldom, if ever, possible to separate the cultures of everyday life from practices of representation, visual or otherwise' (2000: 61). Most scholars working in the field of visual studies agree that any analysis of culture would benefit from attention to the visual experience, knowledge and practice that in part constitutes what culture is (Pink 2007)."
