Magma Contemporary Art Space in Saint George / Romania www.magma.maybe.ro The Chair // Visual Encounters with Power Online workshop 12. november, 2011. As Mirzoeff put it (2005: 6), “Western culture has consistently privileged the spoken word as the highest form of intellectual practice and seen visual representations as second-rate illustrations of ideas.” Mitchell has coined “pictorial turn” (1994: 11) in today’s culture the shift from a text-centric to a multi-medial, mainly visual approach to the world. Visual studies are gaining space in social sciences, if not on the highways, at least on the sidewalks of research and teaching practice. Mirzoeff, N. (2005) An Introduction to Visual Culture.
