Summary

The Photographic Image in Digital Cultureexplores the technological transformation of the photographic image. Contributors investigate such issues as the relationship of technological change to visual culture; the new discourses of "techno-culture"; medicine's new vision of the body, and interactive pornography. They also examine the cultural meanings of new surveillance images; shifts in the domestic consumption of images and their relationship to memory, history and biography; the social uses of video and computer games and the changing role of photography as document and as art.
