An array of visual cultural artefacts from countries around the world and a range of analytical/practical approaches are brought together, rendering the book suitable reading not only for such subjects as architecture, media and museum studies, but also art history, Japanese and Chinese studies, and history.
Offers novel, pioneering insights into digital approaches - an area of rapidly increasing interest in the arts and humanities.
Student friendly: Chapters are accessible, concise and jargon free and each includes a chapter summary, detailed bibliography, notes on further reading, links to additional resources.
As additional teaching resources, the authors plan to supplement the book with an online 'Catalogue Raisonne', which represents a first effort towards creating a cinematic encyclopedia of lived domestic situations, a form of standardized visual spatial ethnography across cultures.
