Visibility define full#
Since the social category of visibility is a central aspect of communication and media studies, we will be interrogating it through three distinct ways: visibility as a field whose symbolic determination results in the constitution of different regimes of visibility visibility as a pivot-concept of publicness since it is this public quality that transforms proto-visibility into a full accomplished visibility and, third, the transmutations and dangers stemmed from media's production of visibility. In this paper, we suggest three lines of empirical and theoretical investigation in the topic of visibility: a sociological (symbolic) axis a collective (publicness) axis and a technological (media) axis. An analysis of visibility will provide us with a precise perspective how these processes occur.
Paradoxically, by amplifying visibility, media create new forms of invisibility. The concept of visibility has become a problematic one as hypervisibility gave rise to new forms of opacity that are formed not through secrecy but by its opposite, pan-visibility.
