Summary

W.J.T. Mitchell: What do the pictures want? Life and Love Pictures

On the background of visual art, literature and mass media, the author goes over cyberpunk films and distorted analyzes of Byzantine icons, racial stereotypes, public monuments, ancient idols and contemporary clones. He rejects the common opinion and view of images as inert objects that convey meanings, but counts on them as animated beings with desires, needs, appetites and their own demands and urges. Opening new vistas in iconology and the fields of visual culture, he considers the significance of the cloned Dolly sheep to be the fulfillment of an ancient dream of creating a living image, and marks the demolition of the World Trade Center as a new and virulent form of iconoclasm.

American expert and professor whose broad field of interest includes the history and theories of media, visual art and literature, from the 18th century to the present day. His work explores the relationship between visual and verbal representations in culture and iconology (the study of images through media). Drawing on the ideas of Freud and Marx, Mitchell tries to show how important it is to consider images as living beings / objects. His critical consciousness fluctuates between belief in magical properties and skeptical doubt, between naive animism and critical attitudes.
