JAST 25: Spring 2007 - VISUAL CULTURE ISSUE

Published in spring 2007, the 25th issue of the Journal of American Studies of Turkey centers entirely on visual culture. Gordon J. Marshall looks at Ted Joans's Beat poetry and illustrations, examining Black vision in a white society. Ceylan Ertung writes about the female body in the works of Mary Caponegro, Louise Bourgeois, and Francesca Woodman. Devrim Kılıçer Yarangümeli tracks the architectural shift from the World Trade Center to the Freedom Tower. Cem Kılıçarslan analyzes how science fiction films present cityscapes, while Lewis Johnson connects American Abstract Expressionism to postwar painting in Turkey. The issue closes with reviews covering Walker Evans's photography, the TV show CSI, and the film Into the Wild.
