Instead of asking for the history, power, or essence of images, Sigrid Weigel addresses imaging as such. The book considers how something a-visible gets transformed into an image. Weigel scrutinizes the moment of \u003ci\u003emis-en-apparition\u003c\/i\u003e, of making an appearance, and the process of concealment that accompanies any imaging.\u003cbr\u003e Weigel reinterprets Derrida's and Freud's concept of the trace as that which must be thought before something exists. In doing so, she illuminates the threshold between traces and iconic images, between something immaterial and its pictorial representation. Chapters alternate between general accounts of the line, the index, the effigy, and the cult-image, and case studies from the history of science, art, politics, and religion, involving faces as indicators of emotion, caricatures as effigies of defamation, and angels as embodiments of transcendental ideas.\u003cbr\u003e Weigel's approach to images illuminates fascinating, unexpected correspondences between premodern and contemporary image-practices, between the history of religion and the modern sciences, and between things that are and are not understood as art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNote to the English-Language \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eEdition \u003c\/i\u003e  vii\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/i\u003e   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Toward a Grammatology of Images   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Trace and the Current Revaluation of Lines   15\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eFaces: Between Trace and Image, Encoding and Measurement   43\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e Indexical Images: Trace, Resemblance, and Code   84\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eEffigiēs\u003c\/i\u003e: Double, Representation, and the Supplementary Economy of the Likeness (\u003ci\u003eEbenbild\u003c\/i\u003e)   101\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eDefamatory Images: Disfiguration in Physiognomy and Caricature's Two Bodies   118\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6 \u003c\/b\u003eCult Images: Iconoclastic Controversy, the Desire for Images, and the Dialectic of Secularization   170\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e7 \u003c\/b\u003eAngels: Images of Making-Appearance between Religion, Art, and Science   202\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e8 \u003c\/b\u003ePerspectives of the Grammatology of Images beyond Visual Culture   264\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  275\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography \u003c\/i\u003e  319\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  347\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52681824502040,"sku":"9781531500276","price":27.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/grammatology-of-images-a-history-of-the-a-visible-paperback-softback-9781531500276","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
