This book explores the politics of visual representation through provocative essays by a distinguished group of scholars, historians, cultural critics and curators. The essays, which span a broad range of subjects, including sci-fi movie making, modern medical imaging, tourist art, politico-economic charting, eighteenth century cabinets of curiosity, and museology, seek to uncover how different cultural contexts translate the meaning of visual information.
