Archaeologies of Vision

While many acknowledge that Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault have redefined our notions of time and history, few recognize the crucial role that 'the infinite relation' between seeing and saying plays in their work. Shapiro reveals the full extent of Nietzsche and Foucault's concern with the visual.

First sentence: Is there evidence of something new in the economy of the senses, in the distribution of thinking and seeing, something that would justify talk of a "visual" or "pictorial turn" in culture and so in the studies that attempt to make sense of it?
