Psychology of the Image outlines a theoretical framework bringing together the semiotic concepts developed by Charles Peirce, the sociological insights of Ervin Goffman and the psychoanalytic ideas of Jacques Lacan. Image studies in fashion, advertising, photography, film studies and psychology have been influenced by these theorists in significant ways. The framework presented helps the reader understand how these ideas relate to the study of different domains of the image: the internal imagery of dreams, external images such as the photograph and image processes which span both contexts, e.g., images we have about ourselves. The topics discussed are organised into three themes. The first considers mental imagery, including sound and dreams. The second addresses the interdependent nature of internal and external images, e.g., the gendered self and social identity. In the third theme, attention turns to external images including television, film, photography, the computer and the internet. Psychology of the Image will be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates, lecturers and researchers in the fields of psychology, media studies and sociology.

Dans un style original et fascinant, les auteures jettent la lumiere sur l'histoire, le processus et la valeur de la sensibilisation radicale au feminisme a l'intention des formateurs en enseignement et des enseignants feministes. Elles se penchent sur de graves incidents qui se deroulent de nos jours dans les salles de classe. Caracterises par le relativisme des valeurs, les jugements precipites, la constatation de vulnerabilite, la cyberintimidation et le besoin de contrer le determinisme dans l'education des enseignants et dans la recherche, ces incidents sont analyses a partir de concepts cles formules par des philosophes et des theoriciens feministes. Mariant recits personnels, dramatisation, allusions litteraires et reconstructions philosophiques, les auteures formulent des analyses et remettent en question la place de l'aspect personnel dans la responsabilite ethique de l'enseignant en matiere de deliberations morales dans des classes pluralistes. Ce livre pourra interesser les educateurs qui aident les enseignants en formation a developper les capacites et la sensibilite necessaires pour assumer l'autorite qui leur revient en classe. Les questions ethiques qui sont soulevees ont aussi des repercussions sur l'enseignement de l'ethique professionnelle dans d'autres disciplines axees sur le travail social. Cette oeuvre unique va au coeur des pires craintes et presomptions des enseignants, et propose une nouvelle approche visant l'analyse des etudes de cas en philosophie de l'education. Ce livre est publie en anglais. - What is the value and place of feminist teaching in common schooling and teacher education? In an open style of writing in philosophy of education, the authors combine original dramatized case studies and allegorical, first-person narratives to analyze key concepts for teachers in relation to radical feminist consciousness-raising. They examine values relativism as antithetical to "good" teaching; the history and practice of feminist consciousness-raising as corrective to the dominant model of moral deliberation in professional ethics; youth cyber-bullying as an example of Italian feminist philosopher Adriana Caverero's claim that 'horror is the face of woman;' and the value of paradox, contradiction and myth in counter-balancing material-realist certainty in teaching, research, and policy-making in public education. Supplements to the five chapters offer additional ideas for introducing feminist teaching practices, through discussion and performance, into professional ethics for pre- and in-service teacher education. This book is published in English.
