More about the book
Acts of exposure are crucial in cultural studies, as Mieke Bal explores the processes of presenting and revealing the 'truth' behind various cultural objects, from art to literature. The book examines how the rhetoric of persuasion in the humanities claims truth through distinct display conventions. Bal highlights the often concealed structures of power and authority that influence our perception of cultural narratives, urging readers to critically engage with the underlying dynamics of representation and interpretation.
