Writing Visual Histories: Writing History

Editat de Dr. Florence Grant, Prof. Ludmilla Jordanova
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2020
What can visual artifacts tell us about the past? How can we interpret them rigorously, weaving their formal and material qualities into rich social contexts to reach wider historical conclusions? Unfolding key historiographical and methodological issues, Writing Visual Histories equips students to answer these questions, showing visual analysis to be a key skill in historical research. A multifaceted structure makes this a practical guide for writing and reflecting on visual histories. A first section includes six case studies -- on topics ranging from medieval heraldry to Life magazine. These examples are followed by an exploration of essential concepts that inform historical thinking about visual matters, a treatment of disciplinary practices, and discussion of the practicalities (such as accessing museum collections and organising permissions) that scholars working with visual sources have to navigate. This book is an invaluable tool kit for opening up a historical understanding of visual phenomena and practices of looking, and for writing that takes an integrated approach to studies of the past.

Recenzii

The six chapters offer case-studies from the fourteenth to the twentieth-century in Britain, Europe and the United States, and collectively present visual history as a lively interdisciplinary mode of enquiry. With its additional sections on concepts, practices and practicalities, the volume exceeds the conventional textbook - making it invaluable as a student handbook or toolkit.
