Reading; What do pictures want?
Today's (re)reading is chapters selected from the book "What do pictures want?" (MITCHELL, 2005: 🏴☠️) for my Visual/Cultural #History class.
There's this nice interview https://web.archive.org/web/20220415220257/https://www.vizualni-studiji.com/razgovori/mitchell.html
Reading; What do pictures want?
In which he states:
"My general pedagogical aim is to slow down the reception of the image, to encourage prolonged contemplation, second and third looks, reversals of perceptual fields such as figure/ground and surface/depth... one that is willing to explore its object with rigorous phenomenological or psychoanalytic or semiotic or socio-historical modes of interpretation"
phenomenology; What do pictures want?
Aaaah, that reminds me I stumbled up this article the other day: "Intrusive gaze: Thoughts and glances upon a ch’ixi world", which regards at RIVERA CUSICANQUI's #ImageSociology / #SociologiaDeLaImagen
And the fact I must, in the near future of my studies, fully engage in this theory.
+ that also reminded me of @CaribenxMarciaX work
