Thank you all for a wonderful semester and an absolutely fantastic set of conversations about the politics of visuality, bodies, and culture! You all have raised brilliant questions and made fabulous connections across texts, and the course as a whole was a smashing success in my opinion, thanks to you all.
A few of you have asked about the website we looked at for the last class. We looked at Anne Friedberg's Virtual Window website, which accompanies her book The Virtual Window: From Alberti to Microsoft (MIT Press, 2009). If you're interested in the emergence of modern forms of looking and spectacle, and about how the visual architecture of the shopping mall, movie theater, car, and home theater system inform one another, check out her work. It's great.
I hope you all continue the conversations we've started with regards to the pleasures and perils of visual culture--I know I will. Thank you all.
