This handbook brings together the most current and hotly debated topics in studies about images today. In the first part, the book gives readers an historical overview and basic diacronical explanation of the term image, including the ways it has been used in different periods throughout history. In the second part, the fundamental concepts that have to be mastered should one wish to enter into the emerging field of Image Studies are explained. In the third part, readers will find analysis of the most common subjects and topics pertaining to images. In the fourth part, the book explains how existing disciplines relate to Image Studies and how this new scholarly field may be constructed using both old and new approaches and insights. The fifth chapter is dedicated to contemporary thinkers and is the first time that theses of the most prominent scholars of Image Studies are critically analyzed and presented in one place.
Makes available the essential information and critical assessment of major topics in Image Studies all in one place for the first time Presents key concerns, histories, and methodologies central to contemporary Image Studies in a clear order and through distinguishable thematic units Serves as an essential reference for every student in visual communication, media theory, visual culture, visual semiotics, art theory, film studies, and philosophy of the image
