Argument
During the 2011 Stone Summer Theory Institute, entitled “Farewell to Visual Studies”, Michael Ann Holly observed that when asked by her undergraduate students what visual culture studies were, she would answer: “It isn’t a discipline; it isn’t a field. It just names a problematic. It shakes up complacency. No objects are excluded. Visual studies names an attitude in relation to visual things, rather than a department.”
Such a simple and slightly provocative explanation of visual culture studies has two advantages: on the one hand, it is an effective way of avoiding the pitfalls of the institutional and disciplinary disputes that so often take over the debate around visual culture studies; on the other hand, it allows us to account for a multitude of heterogeneous references, related to different traditions and ways of thinking about the visual. This issue of the journal Revista de Comunicação e linguagens is inviting submissions of original papers on “the visual studies attitude” today.
