The authors consider the relationship between knowledge and image,
though multi-faceted, to be one of reciprocal dependence. But how
do images carry and convey knowledge? The ambiguities of images
means that interpretations do not necessarily follow the intention
of the image producers. Through an array of different cases, the
chapters critically reflect upon how images are mobilised and used
in different knowledge practices, within certain knowledge
traditions, in different historical periods. They question what we
take for granted, what seems evident, what goes without saying.
This approach spans across established categories such as
"scientific imaging", "religious images" and "artworks", and
considers how images may contribute meaning across such categories.
