International Journal of Philosophy of Culture and Axiology 13(1)/2016:125–136 The Visual Turn in Academic Research and University Study Programs in Lithuania Agnieška Juzefovič Faculty of Creative Industries, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University [email protected] Abstract. Visual turn and replacement of linear sequential communication with visual analogues cause growing variety of scopic regimes and interest in the topic of visuality. This interest is particularly apparent in Lithuanian academic magazines Santalka (Coactivity) and Creativity Studies (former Limes), which are devoted to the topics of philosophy, creative industries and communication within the creative society. The role of images in mass medias, creative industries, advertisement, urban planning, social mapping, various scopic regimes are often analyzed in Lithuanian academic discourse. Traditional university disciplines (art history and theory, culture studies and philosophy) are replaced by new, unconventional study programs, such as Creative Industries, Entertainment Industries, New Media Art, Visual Communication etc. Students are learning how to generate images and to understand how they function in mass media, advertising, public relations, public show organization, creative project coordination and other creative industries. Keywords: Visual turn, visualization, visual studies, image, creative industries, creative education INTRODUCTION Contemporary world is highly saturated with various images. Visuality occupies predominant part of the surrounding reality, the image as well becomes one of the major objects of academic researches in the fields of culture studies, communication, sociology and many other disciplines. Why does the image gain more and more popularity in the fields of humanities and social sciences? Do really is contemporary society prepared for such invasion of various images? Could the images offer relevant answers and provide the sense of meaningfulness we are looking for? How could we deal with the nature of contemporary dominant scopic regime in our society? How (if at all) could we establish the typology of various scopic regimes? How does the predomination of the image changes the prevalent topics of academic researches and entire study programs? While using analytic and comparative methods, the author is searching for the answers for such and related questions. 125 Agnieška Juzefovič / The Visual Turn in Academic Research Present analysis of the topics of visualization, image and visual studies is based on the works of such prominent researchers of visuality as William Mitchell, Martin Jay and Willem Flusser as well as Lithuanian authors, who are involved in the field of visual studies. The first part of the present paper is focused toward the topic of picture, main assumptions, conditions and consequences of the advent of visuality and visual studies. The topic of visuality is perceived as closely related with the topics of creative studies and creative industries. The second part deals with recent Lithuanian academic discourse on visual studies, visual communication and visualization of creative industries. The author suspends ambitions to cover entire vast field of visual studies, which takes place in Lithuanian academic discourse and focuses attention mainly on the paper published in two periodicals – Creativity Studies and Santalka. Such limitation is predisposed by two reasons – 1) the mentioned magazines are purposefully oriented toward the topic of visual studies; 2) the topic of visual studies there often is analyzed through the prism of creative industries, which makes them more relevant in the context of present publication. In the third part, there is provided a brief review of the most popular undergraduate and graduate study programs, which are focused on visual communication, creative industries and industries of entertainment, visual culture and other, where visuality
