"The greatest strength of Practices of Looking is its thorough treatment of the conceptual and material landscape of postmodern visual culture, and this definitely distinguishes it from similar textbooks I've seen." --Kent N. Lowery, Texas Tech University "Practices of Looking is a great and valuable textbook for teaching a broad range of critical and theoretical approaches in modern and contemporary visual practices and visual fields." --Whitney Huber, Columbia College, Chicago "Practices of Looking's ambitions are unparalleled and it's clear that the writers are deeply engaged with the social, psychological and economic consequences of the ways in which images influence how we see ourselves and the world around us." --Jawad Ali, Art Institute of California, Hollywood "The greatest strength of Practices of Looking is its relentless drive to instill a perspective of critical awareness in the reader. This book contributes greatly to promoting and enstilling the type of visual literacy much needed in our contemporary mass mediated society both now and undoubtedly in the foreseeable future." --William H. Lawson, University of Maryland, College Park
