Image Studies offers an engaging introduction to visual and
image studies.
In order to better understand images and visual culture the book
seeks to bridge between theory and practice; asking the reader to
think critically about images and image practices, but also
simultaneously to make images and engage with image-makers and
image-making processes. Looking across a range of domains and
disciplines, we find the image is never a single, static thing.
Rather, the image can be a concept, an object, a picture, or medium
and all these things combined. At the heart of this book is the
idea of an ecology of images, through which we can examine the full
life of an image to understand how an image resonates within a
complex set of contexts, processes and uses.
- Part 1 covers theoretical perspectives on the image,
supplemented with practical entries on making, researching and
writing with images.
- Part 2 explores specific image practices and cultures, with
chapters on drawing and painting; photography; visual culture;
scientific imaging; and informational images.
A wide range of illustrations complement the text throughout and
each chapter includes creative tasks, keywords (linked to an online
resource), summaries and suggested further reading. In addition,
each of the main chapters include selected readings by notable
authors across a range of subject areas, including: Art History,
Business, Cognitive Science, Communication Studies, Infographics,
Neuroscience, Photography, Physics, Science Studies, Social
Semiotics, Statistics, and Visual Culture.
