Visual Culture As World-Forming

"Visual Cultures as World-Forming" is a thought-provoking exploration by Adnan Madani and Jean-Paul Martinon that delves into how the world—and specifically the realm of visual culture—constantly re-creates itself through non-economic, creative acts. Departing from traditional views that often link globalization to increased exchanges and proliferation of goods and information, the authors focus on the concept of "worlding"—a continuous, creative process that doesn't necessarily lead to economic gain but enriches our collective visual and cultural experience.

Drawing inspiration from the works of Jean-Luc Nancy, among others, this publication examines the dynamics of how we, as individuals and societies, contribute to the ongoing formation of our world through visual means. It highlights the role of visual culture in shaping our collective identity and understanding, emphasizing that these creative processes are intrinsic to our existence and perception, beyond mere economic considerations. 

This book is particularly insightful for those interested in cultural theory, visual studies, and philosophy, offering a fresh perspective on the intersections between creativity, economy, and the continuous reimagining of our world.
