Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"A stunning accomplishment in the theorization of the visual. By situating developments in photography, film, and digital media on multiple hinges between philosophy and history, France and Germany, and visual theory and practices, Rodowick delivers a breathtaking overview of modernist aesthetics and an exciting excursion into transformations on the digital frontier."--Timothy Murray, author of "Like a Film: Ideological Fantasy of Screen, Camera, and Canvas<BR>" "Rodowick shows us that the labor of theory is vital and ongoing and that figural thinking is a crucial element for what remains of creative activity and micropolitics in a world where agency appears to be close to extinction."--Tom Conley, author of "The Graphic Unconscious in Early Modern French Writing "

Synopsis:

This work theorises the concept of the figural as a way to get beyond the aesthetic distinction between plastic and linguistic arts. It deconstructs the opposition of word and image and creates concepts for comprehending, using the theoretical insights of Lyotard, Derrida, Foucault and others.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [259]-267) and index.
