Description

The world today is saturated with images of all kinds, circulating at an incredible rate. This kinetic revolution has far-reaching consequences for our understanding of contemporary art and aesthetics, as well as art history. Theory of the Image offers a fresh new approach to aesthetics and history, focusing on the mobility of the image. Thomas Nail develops his philosophy of movement into a comprehensive "kinesthetics" of the moving image, from prehistory to the present. The book concludes with a vivid analysis of the contemporary digital image and its hybridity. This book outlines new territory for research and exploration across aesthetics, art history, cultural theory, and media studies, providing a unique perspective on the Western art tradition.
