What makes an Image? Inscriptions, digital spaces and forms
Résumé
In the current digital age, the image remains the fundamental medium through which we build our social, cultural, economic, and political interactions. Within this context, we believe that emerging approaches to the study and analysis of images require a fresh perspective that takes into account interdisciplinary methods. In order to bring together different disciplines and to question what making an image entails in the digital age, we organized the international symposium “What makes an image? Inscriptions, digital spaces and forms” that was held on February 28, 2020, at the recently inaugurated Maison de la recherche, Université Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis. This volume brings together the contributions of our international symposium, offering an extended and revised version of the talks. It is thus enriched with the input of our passionate debates, as all the texts were written after the event.
