In this companion volume to "Iconology", the author extends his investigation to pictures - the concrete, representational objects in which images appear. Although we have many words about pictures, Mitchell notes that we do not yet have a satisfactory theory of them. What we have is a variety of disciplines - semiotics, philosophical inquiries into representation, new departures in art history, studies in mass media - that attempt to converge on the problem of pictorial representation and visual culture. Identifying the problems inherent in the attempt to master visual representation with verbal discourse, Mitchell proposes instead to "picture theory." He looks at the way pictures function in theories about culture, consciousness, and representation, and at theory itself as a form of picturing. What precisely, he asks, are pictures (and theories about pictures) doing now , in the late 20th 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? Focusing on Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing", Oliver Stone's "JFK", and television coverage of the Gulf War, he examines the capacity of visual images to awaken or stifle public debate, collective emotion, and political violence. An "applied iconology," this volume by one of America's leading theorists of visual representation offers an account of the interplay between the visible and the readable across the culture, from literature to visual art to the mass media.

读后感
因为没有原书，所以校对使用的是google book，因此我只选取了二十页google book可以预览的部分（P138-158）进行比对，主要用于说明这个译本是非常糟糕的，两位译者的态度是非常糟糕的，尤其是其中某位主编、主持翻译了超多书的所谓博导更应该以此感到羞耻。 1.第138页 这一节...
评分翻了两天了，一无所获。翻译水平啊，能力和态度都不过关就别轻易下笔行吗？开始我觉得能够用耐心把这些打结的乱麻理出头绪，就像听老外讲汉语，虽然有语法，词语错误，但大致意思是能把握到的。可是，现在我要宣告放弃了，我害怕解不开乱麻，反倒把自己脑子也弄乱了。我还真担...
评分Dos和Windows 语言和图像恰好是两种操作系统使用方式的不同。大部分人都会认为是后一种较为便捷，他们也推动了人文科学的最新一次转向：图像学转向。（鬼知道还有没有Vista转向。） 语言最终是不可交流的，正如《小世界》中扎普絮絮叨叨所讲的那样：信息每一次发送接着就是又一...

metapictures太燃了！
评分四星半。很好很流畅，可读性很高；但写了四百多页觉得稀了一点。（大概所有这种case集合的书都避免不了吧。）
评分metapictures太燃了！
评分透露着美式文化研究的传统思维。Ekphrasis and the other真的是写得很扎实了，从范式研究一步步挖到意识形态，从Homer到Keats到Stevens，严谨不失幽默的好作品。（然鹅都9102了我才看到这本书
评分有中文版 不过我觉得不可靠
