The Age of Exposure. A Few Words about the Practice of the Nineteenth-Century Exhibitions

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

EN

The text refers to the phenomenon of the nineteenth-century exhibitions and considers them as a practice where important issues for modern visual and cognitive experience are accumulated. The basic category, through which the author tries to describe this phenomenon, is 'attention' in the sense that Jonathan Crary gives it. The exhibition is seen here as an insistent, though unsuccessful attempt to overcome the crisis of organising perception, finding its relationship in a number of literary genres and practices that gain popularity in the age of modernity – such as a travel guide and catalogue.
