PorgesMitchell brings a kind of consensus approach within literary criticism to bear on the criticism of visual imagery; the criticism of an image as if it were a text. A lot of this has been done; without any discipline or care for consistency or clarity; by an army of post-structuralist French critics; with uneven results. Not that Agamben; Derrida and so on arent quite worth reading; but Id guess that reading them would be a lot more rewarding for someone who had read this little book first.11 of 82 people found the following review helpful. Many words for a few ideas.By Jack BertThe introduction says "This is a book about the things people say about images". As a person who buys a lot of instructional books which I hope are insightful and succinct I found this overwritten. Someone liking miles of wordy literary type criticism might find it appealing.
