In/Different Spaces: Place and Memory in Visual Culture

Summary: An invaluable contribution to visual culture
Review: Burgin's book is a wonderful contribution to the growing field of visual culture. His examinations of Helmut Newton are beyond reproach, and his ability to link aesthetic experiences with the development of social consciousness (using, among others, theorists Lacan and Mulvey) is impressive. All delivered with good humor and supplemented by personal anecdote, this book is absolutely vital for anyone interesting in visual culture.
