SUMMARY:
The
visual
history of
violence,
violence
and
media
technology,
violence
as
а
goal and
object
of art, the
spectacle of death, the
gaze
and
sexual
domination, the
Other in the
саптега
lens,
everyday practices of
visual
violence
in the "society of spectacle" - these
аге
just
some
of the
themes
dealt with
Ьу
authors of articles
in this collection. The central problem
addressed
here
is the
analysis
of
ways
of interpreting and representing
violence
in various
visual
practices
(from
classical
art to
contemporary cartoons and
television),
at the sametime
special attention is
given
to the question of the extent
to
which
visual
media
themselves
аге
responsible for the
production of "violence", repression and coercion,
given
that
violence
is an element of the photographic and
cinematic "apparatus"
a.-L.
Baudry's
term) in the very
essence
of their technological
form.
