The closing years of the twentieth century are witnessing a radical re-orientation of thought in the human sciences which defies conventional disciplinary boundaries and demands anew 'turning': away from the rationalising modes of modernity and towards a different grasp of the nature of knowing itself.... The power of visual media as a means of knowledge-creation is only hesitantly grasped by many in public life. ... But, from the viewpoint of the emergent visual-aural culture of the twenty-first century, "what's on" creates the context for what is known and hence finally for what "is." -Annette Hamilton
