Skilled Visions : Between Apprenticeship and Standards, Paperback / softback Book

Skilled Visions : Between Apprenticeship and Standards Paperback / softback

Edited by Cristina Grasseni

Part of the EASA Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Most arguments for a rediscovery of the body and the senses hinge on a critique of “visualism” in our globalized, technified society.

This approach has led to a lack of actual research on the processes of visual “enskillment.” Providing a comprehensive spectrum of case studies in relevant contexts, this volume raises the issue of the rehabilitation of vision and contextualizes vision in the contemporary debate on the construction of local knowledge vs. the hegemony of the socio-technical network. By maintaining an ethnographic approach, the book provides practical examples that are both accessible to undergraduate students and informative for an academic audience.
