<p>“<i>Farewell to Visual Studies</i> is astonishing and impressive. It opens the field to self-critical questions about its history, objects, and methods (in contrast to art history and German <i>Bildwissenschaft</i>). The statements of the editors at the beginning, the open-minded and self-critical discussion among the participants in the Chicago Seminars, and the contributions of the experts at the end deliver a deep impression of how such a self-assessment may lead to new shores.”</p><p>—Martina Sauer, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Semiotik (DGS)</p>
<p>“In looking back at the whole field of visual studies, the collection offers a lively contribution to the history of the inter/trans/in/discipline. It is a wonderful example of <i>how</i> understanding and new thinking are produced by performing intellectual clarification and innovation on the page, giving readers the sense of mediated participation in the Stone Center Seminars.”</p><p>—Jon Simons, Indiana University Bloomington</p>
