PICTURE THEORY: ESSAYS ON VERBAL AND VISUAL REPRESENTATION
Book ID/图书代码： 13560015B84492
English Summary/英文概要： What precisely, W. J. T. Mitchell asks, are pictures (and theories of pictures) doing now, in the late twentieth century, when the power of the visual is said to be greater than ever before, and the "pictorial turn" supplants the "linguistic turn" in the study of culture? This book by one of America’s leading theorists of visual representation offers a rich account of the interplay between the visible and the readable across culture, from literature to visual art to the mass media.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： W•J•T米歇尔所问及的，实则是图像（以及图像理论）在当下的意义，尤其是在20世纪末开始，视觉的力量远胜于以往的任何一个时期，在文化研究的过程中，“图像转向”开始取代“语言转向”。本书来自于美国一流视觉代表理论学家，从文学到视觉艺术再到大众媒体，为我们带来了视觉文化和可读文化之间丰富的交互影响。(DC)
Awards/获奖情况：米歇尔（英语与艺术专业，芝加哥大学），作为《批评性探索》杂志的编辑，他对文字与描述之间的关系表现出了大量的担忧。米歇尔通过这种极具说服力且毫无专业行话术语的文风，从另一面探究了卡通直白幽默背后的原因；可能或已经因为奴隶制而断裂的叙述与记忆之间的联系；以及美术理论等。本选集中还收入了巴特，维特根斯坦，马格利特等人所提出的理论，可谓是富含各种成熟的理论观点，极度适合于美学学生及学者们。此外本书还适合于被派诵读经文且潜心研究的信徒，以及教授艺术史与哲学的教师用于课堂讨论的素材。如果你喜爱收藏弗朗西斯卡•戈德史密斯或伯克利•PL•卡尔的作品，那么强烈推荐本书。
Mitchell (English and art, Univ. of Chicago), who is editor of Critical Inquiry, addresses a variety of concerns about the nexus of word and depiction. In cogent, jargon-free prose, Mitchell by turn takes up the reason behind a cartoon’s apparent humor; the flow between narrative and memory, which can and has been ruptured by slavery; painterly theories; and much more. Incorporating theories propounded by Barthes, Wittgenstein, Magritte, and others, this volume is a veritable chocolate box of well-developed ideas for aesthetics students and scholars. It is also accessible to the lay reader, engaging for the researcher, and an emblematic resource for classroom discussion for the teacher of art history or philosophy. Recommended for most collections.Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley P.L., Cal.
