The Lives of Images, edited by Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa, is a set
of contemporary thematic readers designed for educators, students,
practicing photographers, and others interested in the ways images
function within a wider set of cultural practices. The series
tracks the many movements and "lives" of images-their tendency to
accumulate, circulate, and transform through different geographies,
cultures, processes, institutions, states, uses, and times. Volume
2 in this series, Analogy, Attunement, and Attention, addresses the
complex relationships that the reproducible image creates with its
viewers, their bodies, their minds, and their sense of the physical
and metaphysical world. The selection addresses the image's role in
the social constitution of individual and collective identity, in
social practices of resistance to the structural violences of
racism, or in relation to state exercises of power. Of particular
importance in this volume are questions of our changing
relationship to space and to selfhood as mediated by the image and
by the many networked technologies and norms built around it.
Essays in the volume ask: what modes of attention are required of
us as viewers and agents of image circulation? The question of how
image technologies provide us with an array of freedoms is here
combined with and read against the many ways images are deployed to
reorient, repress, or reduce our field of vision-thus affecting our
capacity to see and to act in social space. Contributions by Victor
Burgin, Judith Butler, Tina Campt, Sarah Jane Cervenak, Harun
Farocki, Tom Holert, Thomas Keenan, Rabih Mroue, Vivian Sobchack,
and Tiziana Terranova
