Abstract

Human experience in the XXI century is dominated by the visual culture more than ever before. Images from satellite photographs to medical 3d animation, to TV commercials and reproductions of Renaissance masterpieces on home textiles and i-Pad covers permeate everyday life. For many life itself is mediated by television, film and virtual environments of the cyberspace. Engaging with the visual culture, understanding and interpreting its phenomena is an important skill for developing visual literacy which in the recent decades has become a major field of crossdisciplinary research. The course is designed for students at an advanced level of English.
