Iconographies of Power: The Politics and Poetics of Visual Representation: 108 (American Studies - A Monograph) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Today the question of iconography has taken on a new and more general urgency. As a dominant cultural practice, iconography embraces the politics as well as the poetics of visual representation within their specific historical and cultural conditions. In its contemporary significance the question of iconography moreover reaches beyond disciplinary boundaries of conventional definitions and interpretations of the relation between words and images in a demand to critically compare and contrast their different iconographies as cultural practices of power. In their distinct arguments and from different perspectives, the essays collected in this volume are all similarly concerned with the iconographical power and poetics of the image, including a broad range of visual representations: prints and illustrations, painting, sculpture and concept art, documentary and art photography, film comedy and digital imagery. In all these instances, the image is looked at not as an exclusive and isolated phenomenon but, rather emphatically, as a visual and contextual event; as both the source and target of the collision and the collusion of word and image; as instances and symptoms of contemporary iconographic practice alike. With contributions by Winfried Fluck, Mario Klarer, Mick Gidley, Douglas Tallack, Heinz Ickstadt, Peter Schneck, Maren Stange, Hanne Loreck, Zsofia Ban, Susanne v. Falkenhausen, Deniz Gokturk, Wendy Steiner, Hanjo Berressem, Kaja Silverman, Michael Wetzel.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. The contemporary question of iconography has gained urgency, addressing the politics and poetics of visual representation within specific historical and cultural contexts. This inquiry transcends traditional boundaries, urging a critical comparison of the iconographies of words and images as cultural practices of power. The essays in this volume explore the iconographical power and poetics of various visual representations, including prints, paintings, sculptures, concept art, photography, film, and digital imagery. Each contribution emphasizes the image as a visual and contextual event, highlighting its role in the interplay between word and image. The collected works examine how these representations serve as both sources and targets of iconographic practices, reflecting broader cultural dynamics. The volume features diverse perspectives from contributors such as Winfried Fluck, Mario Klarer, Mick Gidley, and others, all united in their exploration of contemporary iconography. They collectively delve into the significance of images as interconnected phenomena, revealing the complexities of visual representation in today's cultural landscape.
