The Politics of Pictures: The Creation of the Public in the Age of the Popular Media Book
The Politics of Pictures searches for the public in the realm of media, where citizens are now literally represented on screen and page. John Hartley investigates popular media reality, showing how pictures and texts are powerful political forces in their own right. He embarks on a wide-ranging and sometimes bizarre journey of discovery, using an amazing variety of primary texts to explore the way publics have been created, and the political uses of media audiences. The Politics of Pictures is a history of looking, from Aristotle to TV audiences, from the invention of photography to the meaning of picnics, from Leviathan to synchronized swimming, Dr. Johnson to the sexualization of war. Its unconventional approach is designed to show how popular reality looks to itself, and how its peculiar forms and connections actually challenge some venerable political and philosophical truths.Read More
