Product Description
Review
"Nimbly interweaving the histories of science, technology, philosophy, popular culture, and the visual arts, Jonathan Crary provides a stunning challenge to conventional wisdom about the epochal transformation of visual culture in the nineteenth century. "Techniques of the Observer" will be a vital resource for anyone concerned with the complex interaction of technological modernization and aesthetic modernism." --Martin Jay, University of California at Berkeley
Product Description
Crary aims to provide a different perspective on the visual culture of the 19th century, reassessing problems of both visual modernism and social modernity. This is an analysis of the historical formation of the observer and an account of the prehistory of "the society of the spectacle".
