RMeS Summer School 2023: Imagophilia: Place, Politics, Passion

Beskrivning

Imagophilia speaks to our ineluctable and incessant love for images: a baffling fondness for storing them, recalling them, or at times monumentalizing them in our mind. Under the overarching umbrella of imagophilia, in this Summer School we want to explore the possessive and persuasive power of images, whether affectively localized in places or politically dispersed across spaces. Do we simply like images or are we haunted by their seductive and holding power? Are we, as W.J.T Mitchell posits, under their spell whether we admit it or not? Overarching topics like cinephilia, photophilia, logophilia, idolatry and bédéphilia, the theme of imagophilia addresses our fervid yet inexplicable endearment for images, whether they are verbal or mental, still or moving, metaphoric or metonymic, analogue or digital.
