Definition
- Visual culture is a philosophical and epistemological stance that acknowledges visuality as central to the constitution of the world. Visuality is the way in which certain ways of seeing the world are created, and how these creations are powerful because they affect “how we see, how we are able, allowed, or made to see” (Foster 1988, ix).
