Bericht
"What makes this volume unique is its welcoming of various topics; asking its readers to stroll over these by putting them side-by-side and by putting aside, if there is any, their categorical and/or taxonomical views; and having the company of these myriad fields of visual culture ... Global Visual Cultures is a timely endeavour in broaching our capacity to imagine the world as a global entity which entails various mechanisms of exchange and sharing." ( British Journal of Aesthetics , April 2013)
