Please find below the blurb for the book.

Offering an alternative mode of visual cultural analysis to the 
prevalent discursive model, this book proposes to situate analysis of 
Image within ‘formal’ analyses of culture experience.
Specifically, the discussion draws on theories of affective aesthetics 
with the view of addressing the sensual form of culture (i.e. ‘cultural 
form’). Therefore, the volume puts forward a mode of formalist analysis 
in visual cultural research which takes purchase on the idea of 
‘cultural form’. A continuum of formalist attention between Image 
analysis (visual media, industrial design) and probing of ‘cultural 
forms’ establishes the theoretical underpinning of the book. These 
concepts are expounded through a case study which looks at formal 
experimentations and debates arising from 1960s avant-garde artistic 
practices in London.
