N2 - Invisibility Studies explores current changes in the relationship between what we consider visible and what invisible in different areasof contemporary culture. Contributions trace how these changes make their marks on various cultural fields and investigate the culturalsignificance of these developments, such as transparency and privacy in urban architecture and the silent invasion of surveillance technologiesinto everyday life. The book contends that when it comes to the changing relationship of the visible and the invisible, the connection betweenseeing and not being seen is an exchange conditioned by physical and social settings that create certain possibilities for visibility and visuality,yet exclude others. The richness and complexity of this cultural framework means that no single discipline or interdisciplinary approach couldcapture it single-handedly. Invisibility Studies begins this conversation by bringing together scholars across the fields of architectural history andtheory, art, film and literature, philosophy, cultural theory and contemporary anthropology as well as featuring work by a collective of artists.
