beeldcultuur

Beeldcultuur, or image culture, refers to the way visual images—such as photographs, advertisements, videos, and social media content—shape our perceptions, values, and social interactions. It highlights how society increasingly communicates and constructs meaning through visual media, influencing our understanding of reality, identity, and culture. In a beeldcultuur, images are not just reflections but active agents that influence opinions, behaviors, and cultural norms. This concept emphasizes the importance of visual literacy and critical engagement with images in a world where visual stimuli are omnipresent.
