CLASSIC ESSAYS ON PHOTOGRAPHY

Luke Brooker

Helmut Glavar

We live in a visual world. Image becomes an integral part of human life; it is a very significant tool of communication. The impact of images is incredibly out of the ordinary. The dissertation aims to answer the question of how does the meaning get into the still image in advertising. Undoubtedly, most of today’s advertising images’ meaning is affected by the merging of texts and images; which are working in a reciprocal relationship. Many semanticists, like Rolland Barthes attempted to answer such question by privileging one medium on another. However, the relation between the text and image is dynamic, and interactional. This view should be fairly considered in our endeavors to explain the advertising image, and the way viewers make sense of it. Also, the dissertation has taken on consideration the different orders of meaning that frame the viewer’s interpretations. The fact that there are different levels of perception leads us to question the need for a specific knowledge, and the capability of viewers to reach them. Both, students and illiterate people are actually illiterate when it comes to an academic interpretation of the image; therefore the need to incorporate a visual education in Morocco’s universities is inevitable. Image is innocent. The only meaning the image bears, is that we attached to it. The meaning is the result of the interaction between us (active viewers) and symbols, which are to some extent the reflection of who we are.

Semiotic Review

Constantine V . Nakassis

One persistent ideological ambivalence in Western academic thought is the differentiation and slippage between language and image. As historians of philosophy have pointed out, Western philosophy has often construed language as a species of vision and imaging. In this line of thought, the meaning of linguistic discourse is (or is like) an image, imprinted in the mind. Just as frequently, however, it is asserted that there is a radical caesura between language and image (and between representation and our sensory modalities), the latter being a space of non-representability and thus before or beyond the enclosure of language. Here, images exceed language, which is unable to capture their affect, materiality, or sensoriality. This special issue confronts these two persistent problematics by critically asking, how can we productively (re)think the relationship between language and image, text and the sensorial, representation and presence through a holistic semiotic framework? And how can we do so without reducing one side of these seeming antinomies to the other or instating their radical difference? As with all issues of Semiotic Review, “Images” remains open to new submissions (essays, reviews, interviews, etc.).

Krešimir Purgar

This book uncovers an underlying dispute over the role images play in contemporary society and, consequently, over their values and purposes. Two decades after the concepts of the pictorial and the iconic turn changed our vernacular involvement with regard to images, it has become clear that it was not only a newly discovered social, political or sexual construction of the visual field that brought turbulence into disciplinary knowledge, but that images have their own “pictorial logic” with powers exceeding those that are purely iconic or visually discernible. Instead of underscoring previously defined concepts of the picture, the contributors to this book view visual studies and Bildwissenschaft “merely” as a place for the theory of images, making a case for the hotly-debated topic of their powers and weaknesses on the one hand, and of their respective theories on the other. Therefore, as the title indicates, this book theorizes images, but it does not present a theory of images, because visual studies cannot lead to a unified theory of images unless a unified ontology of images can be agreed upon first. Although that would be a different task altogether, all the contributions in this book (in different ways and at different paces), by theorizing images in their aesthetic, historical, media and technological guises, pave the way for the future of visual culture and for the image science that will make this future more comprehensible.

Gerald J Davey

Mind and Matter - Challenges and Opportunities in Cognitive Semiotics and Aesthetics [Working Title]

Sonia Campaner Miguel Ferrari

In this article I consider images from a philosophical point of view starting from its definition and its relation to thinking. Some analogies with imagetic signs and words are established. And in doing this, I try to value seeing, not to the expense of saying or thinking, but as a way of getting in touch with images that privilege a certain way of knowing.
