Seeing Perception: Images & Texts (Universität Leipzig, Germany, 24-26
November 2006)
Over the past two decades, matters of seeing and visual perception have
garnered increasing critical attention. With good reason, the visual

inter- or transdisciplinary perspectives (such as "visual studies" or
"visual culture"): vision can be, and has been, conceptualised as a
philosophical category, as cultural medium of expression, as instrument
and technology of visualization as well as a means of communication.
