Abstract
The rise of visual culture studies in the 1970s and 1980s in the academic field benefited from postwar French New Theory and was linked with the Western critical reflection on modernity/post-modernity, and it has brought about some fundamental changes in the methodologies and problematic in many areas of humanities research. This paper attempts to delineate the development of visual culture studies in the West, and describes the basic issues concerning its genealogy, objects and subjects.
