文化研究视域中的视觉文化

Visual Culture from the Perspective of Cultural Study

视觉文化作为一个新兴的学术研究领域,其学术起点是对视觉经验的重构;其发展轨迹是对"文化转向"的加入和反思,试图把视像化、视觉性作为理解后现代文化性质的钥匙;其知识体系的基础是跨学科研究。在这三个方面,视觉文化都得益于文化研究的理念和方法。与此同时,视觉文化也发展了文化研究欠缺的理论维度,对后者形成补充。

As a new study field,visual culture has certainly profited from the idea and method developed in the cultural study.Firstly,cultural study has rethought visual experiences from the viewpoint of sociology,which becomes the premise of visual culture.Secondly,by the review of cultural study,visual culture has considered 'visuality' as the key to interpret the nature of postmodern culture and attempted a new way to understand 'cultural turn' in humanities and social sciences.Thirdly,the same as cultural study,visual culture has based its knowledge system on the cross-disciplinary study.However,not just having followed the footsteps of cultural study,visual culture has promoted the development of cultural study in some aspects.
