Discourses of Vision in Nineteenth-Century Britain: Seeing, Thinking, Writing de Jonathan Potter

Discourses of Vision in Nineteenth-Century Britain: Seeing, Thinking, Writing: Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture

Autor Jonathan Potter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 oct 2018
This book offers an innovative reassessment of the way Victorians thought and wrote about visual experience. It argues that new visual technologies gave expression to new ways of seeing, using these to uncover the visual discourses that facilitated, informed and shaped the way people conceptualised and articulated visual experience. In doing so, the book reconsiders literary and non-fiction works by well-known authors including George Eliot, Charles Dickens, G.H. Lewes, Max Nordau, Herbert Spencer, and Joseph Conrad, as well as shedding light on less-known works drawn from the periodical press. By revealing the discourses that formed around visual technologies, the book challenges and builds upon existing scholarship to provide a powerful new model by which to understand how the Victorians experienced, conceptualised, and wrote about vision.

Recenzii

“The book is elegantly written and creative, interpreting visual culture in a way that considers the hybridity of the multimedia Victorian environment. Potter makes original insights into familiar concepts, texts, and figures. The book valuably builds on existing scholarship, while suggesting areas for additional research. … Scholars of technology and culture who want to learn more about the entwinement of technology, vision, and subjectivity in nineteenth-century Britain will find Discourses of Vision a valuable complement to influential Studies … .” (Jennifer Tucker, Technology and Culture, Vol. 63 (2), April, 2022)

“Jonathan Potter’s study, which explores how visual technologies shaped vision and its metaphors in nineteenth-century Britain, offers a ‘pluralistic understanding of polydynamic ‘experiences’’ through its persuasive critique of the paradigm of ‘singular individuality’ … . He finds that the composition and reading of narrative fiction in the nineteenth century provided an ‘ordering process’ by which individuals could make sense of a society that was both increasingly fragmented and more extensively networked … .” (Laura Ludtke, BAVS Newsletter, Vol. 21 (2), 2021)

“Potter’s study understandably retains hallmarks of many a first book. But its grounding in philosophy, visual theory, psychology, cognitive theory, archival research, and literature remains impressive. It also validates further research into the history of technology, as we enter a new decade of clicks and hybrid clouds.” (Linda M. Shires, Victorian Studies, Vol. 62 (3), 2020)

“Potter’s book offers valuable insights through its extensive exploration of the relations between mind, perception, and the technological imagination.” (Patrick Armstrong, The British Society for Literature and Science, April 14, 2020)

“Victorian studies has sorely lacked a phenomenology of visual experience, and Potter’s biggest achievement is to have provided not just one, but several of these across the different chapters. … I recommend this book for all scholars of the nineteenth century, no matter what their discipline. … Discourses of Vision is destined to become an oft-cited text because it fills a gap in the phenomenology of visual experience, and because of Potter’s commendable and original attention to the particularities and nuances of Victorian visual technologies.” (Owen Clayton, Journal of Victorian Culture, Vol. 20 (1-3), February 28, 2020)

“Potter’s study is a richly researched and attentive investigation into the range of perceptual experience preserved for us in nineteenth-century British culture. … The discoveries of Potter’s study, particularly in its attention to the interplay between specific technologies and the texts that carry forward the experiences of interacting with and thinking about these technologies, will be of interest to many scholars in history and literature.” (Elizabeth Hope Chang, Nineteenth-Century Prose, Vol. 46 (2), 2019)

“In Discourses of Vision in Nineteenth-Century Britain: Seeing, Thinking, Writing, Jonathan Potter's ambitious remit is how visual technologies shaped not only ways of seeing and thinking, but also the shape of literature itself. This is a smart, fully packed book … .” (SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Vol. 59 (4), 2019)

“The scope of this project is vast, and Potter’s ability to synthesise its diversity of ideas into a coherent and compelling narrative is impressive. His bibliography is extensive and will prove of equal value to historians of visual media and those of Victorian culture. Most significantly, the book’s discursive, pluralistic drive has prepared a fertile base from which similar-minded enquiries into the interactions between visual technology and thought can flourish – in studies of nineteenth-century Britain and beyond.” (Thomas Haynes, Early Popular Visual Culture, October 4, 2019)
