Abstract

jonathan crary in techniques of the observer grants a theatrical still modern point of view on the ocular culture of nineteenth century. In this book he has re-approached the complications and plights of visual modernism and social modernity both. Extroverting conventional ideas the author has considered the trouble of visual sight by studying the historical construction of observer and not by images or art works. crary justifies the fact that the problems associated with vision cannot be separated from the conduction of social competence. He has also examined it in this book that how actually it works. By 1820,s the observer was introduced as the site of new practices and discourses that were located within the body in shape of physiological happening.
