This volume explores the many facets and ongoing transformations of
our visual identities in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Its chapters engage with the constitution of personal, national and
cultural identities at the intersection of the verbal and the
visual across a range of media. They are attentive to how the
medialities and (im)materialities of modern image culture inflect
our conceptions of identity, examining the cultural and political
force of literature, films, online video messages, rap songs,
selfies, digital algorithms, social media, computer-generated
images, photojournalism and branding, among others. They also
reflect on the image theories that emerged in the same time
span-from early theorists such as Charles S. Peirce to
twentieth-century models like those proposed by Roland Barthes and
Jacques Derrida as well as more recent theories by Jacques
Ranciere, W. J. T. Mitchell and others. The contributors of Imaging
Identity come from a wide range of disciplines including literary
studies, media studies, art history, tourism studies and semiotics.
The book will appeal to an interdisciplinary readership interested
in contemporary visual culture and image theory.
