Images of Knowledge: The Epistemic Lives of Pictures and Visualisations
$31.00
The authors consider the relationship between knowledge and image, though multi-faceted, to be one of reciprocal dependence. But how do images carry and convey knowledge? The ambiguities of images means that interpretations do not necessarily follow the intention of the image producers. Through an array of different cases, the chapters critically reflect upon how images are mobilised and used in different knowledge practices, within certain knowledge traditions, in different historical periods. They question what we take for granted, what seems evident, what goes without saying.
This approach spans across established categories such as "scientific imaging", "religious images" and "artworks", and considers how images may contribute meaning across such categories.
