This book covers various media and their histories by studying visual representational systems, production and consumption of media and culture-specific understandings. Crucial questions about the usage of media in research are also addressed in the book.

In the selection of the subjects and objects of enquiry, there is a constant engagement with the popular and the everyday. The objects are studied with respect to their situatedness in urban space and everyday life. The five sections of the book focus on five aspects of visual culture: camera works, folk/artistry, market signs, pictorial politics and monumental landscapes. With attention to ethnographic detail and anthropology, each section brings an added dimension to the study of visible cultural forms.   aCulturesvCommunityvClass and gender zIndia  aLettmann, Birgit  aSkoda, Uwe  cBK2ddc  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2018-03-23eOPi2018-02-28l0o954.0954 INDp49749r2019-04-18 00:00:00w2019-04-18yBK
