This book addresses the function and status of the visual and verbal image as it relates to social, political, and ideological issues. The authors first articulate some of the lost connections between image and ideology, then locate their argument within the modernist/postmodernist debates. The book addresses the multiple, trans-disciplinary problems arising from the ways cultures, authors, and texts mobilize particular images in order to confront, conceal, work through, or resolve contradictory ideological conditions.

W.J.T. Mitchell – one of the founders of visual studies – has been at the forefront of many disciplines such as iconology, art history and media studies. His concept of the pictorial turn is known worldwide for having set new philosophical paradigms in dealing with our vernacular visual world. This book will help both students and seasoned scholars to understand key terms in visual studies – pictorial turn, metapictures, literary iconology, image/text, biopictures or living pictures, among many others – while systematically presenting the work of Mitchell as one of the discipline's founders and most prominent figures. As a special feature, the book includes three comprehensive, authoritative and theoretically relevant interviews with Mitchell that focus on different stages of development of visual studies and critical iconology.

What constitutes a villain? How does villainy differ from evil? Do villains created for children's fiction differ from those created for adults? The villains considered in this volume come from an eclectic range of sources - from comic books to film and from novels to television serials - and a broad selection of times and places. Villains continue to raise troubling questions about the role of narrative in both fiction and real life.

What precisely, W. J. T. Mitchell asks, are pictures (and theories of pictures) doing now, in the late twentieth century, when the power of the visual is said to be greater than ever before, and the "pictorial turn" supplants the "linguistic turn" in the study of culture? This book by one of America's leading theorists of visual representation offers a rich account of the interplay between the visible and the readable across culture, from literature to visual art to the mass media.

An invasive new American value system is taking over, characterized by the embrace of leisure, the worship of the commodity, the adoration of the celebrity, the enshrinement of material success, and the veneration of wealth. Caldwell reveals how we are herded to assure the perpetual expansion of the economic sphere and exposes the effects on American life. In Consumer Culture in America, Wilber W. Caldwell observes that we are seduced, lured into a sparkling web so enticing that we perceive no reason to struggle. This book explores the enormous power of the marketplace that is reflected so vividly by the countless agents of our popular culture as it pulls everything into its all-encompassing orbit. Oblivious to the runaway, self-perpetuating power that seeks to controls us, we are lost in a maze of materialist illusions created by a system that possesses only limited perspectives and sensitivities in the realms of social justice, war, human exploitation, and the fragility of the natural world. Our politicians may pay lip service to these issues, but at the end of the day, they are only puppets, chosen and controlled by a system that understands the value of creating illusions, including the illusion that these issues are being addressed. Consumer Culture in America first explores the history and development of modern consumer culture, then carefully examines its intellectual and ideological underpinnings, and finally scrutinizes the current situation. This book answers many of our society’s most compelling questions. Are our media-driven marketplace illusions so enticing as to effectively mute any possible outcry of resistance, silence the historically predictable anthem of the exploited by obscuring from them the fact of their own exploitation, and sate any desire aimed at breaking the chains of material bondage? Does this culture of the commodity effectively mask widespread inequity, poverty, powerlessness, environmental plunder, even murder and genocide? Are we willing slaves to an invisible force that shapes our beliefs and our desires while it blinds us to its own workings? Or does today’s consumer culture have another side? Does it also spawn unforeseen meanings and supply important material and symbolic resources that ordinary people can use to invigorate their lives, their identities, and their culture in an otherwise hostile world? The ruinous effects of modern American consumer culture are complex and deep-rooted. At its core, cultural operations seek to alter our perception of reality itself by so intensely focusing our attention on the gleaming reflection of the commodity that we become unable to see the wider world. Any realistic remedy will entail removing the veil and exposing our blindness. Indeed, part of the solution may lie within the complex folds of the culture itself. We may already be discovering unforeseen meanings amid the glitter - symbolic resources that we can creatively use to invigorate our lives, reconstruct our trampled identities, and rekindle the flickering fires of both the individualism and the community that once burned so brightly at the heart of our democracy.

`I found the book excellent and read every one of the 450 pages.... Many of the chapters reflect the Fielding Institute′s focus on human and organizational behaviour, educational leadership, and organizational management. The book will be particularly appropriate for readers from a corporate, training or business school background, though there is much for academics and online educators at all levels and subject areas to learn from this well crafted book. There are many books and articles about online learning. This is one of the better ones!′ - Robin Mason, Computers and Education Technology-mediated instruction has taken the university and the corporate sector by storm. As more instructors teach online for a dispersed learning community in both academic and business environments, there′s a need for resources that will help them adapt to this new teaching method. Educators who come out of traditional academic institutions tend to use traditional methods when offering courses online (e.g. lectures, textbooks and readings, examinations) rather than attend to small-group processes and principles of what the editors of this volume call "andragogy." This Handbook goes beyond the mechanics of how to create and direct an online learning experience to consider such a new approach to pedagogy in doing so. The editors primary purpose is to clarify the conceptual issues that underlie effective online teaching and to offer practical guidance to educators and corporate trainers who plan to teach in a virtual environment. Their central tenet is: the adoption of computer networks as the teaching vehicle of the future demands a re-examination of our core beliefs about pedagogy and how students learn. The transfer of a classroom curriculum into cyberspace is deceptively simple, but doing so without an appreciation of the nuances and implications of learning online ignores not only the potential of this medium but the inevitable realities of entering it. Rather than fear the challenges that new technology brings to systems of learning, the editors hope to help instructors embrace it by re-thinking how knowledge is acquired and how educational processes may be optimally designed in a new age of teaching and learning. Features/Benefits - Part I provides an overview and includes discussion of the unique structural aspects of the electronic learning environment, pedagogical issues, curriculum design, psychological and group dynamics, and ethical issues. - Part II examines practical issues associated with implementing courses online, both in the traditional university setting and in professionalrporate training environments. - The book draws heavily on personal case examples, many from The Fielding Graduate Institute′s 26+ years of teaching in nontraditional distributed learning environments.

This is a study of the "returned gaze" from the cinema screen, demonstrating that the films that we watch watch us, guide us, control our gaze, and enforce societal codes.
