Mitchell claims that we are reaching the end of the postmodern era, and are now experiencing the "pictorial turn" in history, a movement from the separation of literate and pictorial representation to a unification of these modes of information through an exploration and understanding of the image and text relationship.
"One way of describing the pictorial turn in contemporary visual culture is the convergence of spectacle and surveillance in television news, film, and forms of art that address the public sphere" (Mitchell, 327).
