The field of visual culture studies in the United States corresponds or parallels the Bildwissenschaft ("image studies") in Germany.[2] Both fields are not entirely new, as they can be considered reformulations of issues of photography and film theory that had been raised from the 1920s and 1930s by authors like Béla Balázs, László Moholy-Nagy, Siegfried Kracauer and Walter Benjamin.[2]
