Essay: Blind Witches of New Worlds

Finished my latest essay for cultural studies a few hours ago. In writing it, I used Tad William's Otherland and, since I know other people who might be interested by this, I am going to post it. Anyone also ineterested in cultural studies might be ineterested.

It is about visual culture, and how it affects the blind, since blind people have no access to visual culture, but still live in a highly visualised world, and are shaped (and othered) by it. Anyway, here it is.

Essay Question:

What does it mean to connect and interact with the visual? How has the shift from photographic reality to virtual reality changed the way human beings conceive of themselves and the spaces they inhabit? Refer to both ‘traditional’ photographic texts as well as digitally constructed environments in your answer.
