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.

Linguistics, semiotics, rhetoric, and various models of "textuality" have become the lingua franca for critical reflections on the arts, the media, and cultural forms. Society is a text. Nature and its scientific representations are "discourses." Even the unconscious is structured like a language. (查看原文)
The interactions of pictures and texts imply that all media are mixed media, and it is their linkage to issues of power, value and human interest that actually matters, instead of the boundary itself.

应用图像学，重心从图像转为了图，从iconic logos转为representation。其实不算理论专著，而是综合了之前发表的论文。虽然导言和各章的序言像是搭建了一个框架，但基本上是每篇独立处理单个问题。Mitchell的分析一如既往很犀利精深，但他不断的概念联想置换比较让人担忧。text-image关系随着分析对象和语境的变化转化为话语-表征、可说-可见的矛盾。这种宽泛性自然便于适应各种情形... 应用图像学，重心从图像转为了图，从iconic logos转为representation。其实不算理论专著，而是综合了之前发表的论文。虽然导言和各章的序言像是搭建了一个框架，但基本上是每篇独立处理单个问题。Mitchell的分析一如既往很犀利精深，但他不断的概念联想置换比较让人担忧。text-image关系随着分析对象和语境的变化转化为话语-表征、可说-可见的矛盾。这种宽泛性自然便于适应各种情形、扩大学说影响力，但每次转变往往缺乏足够论证，概念靠两边站队的做法也涉嫌简单的对立。 (展开)

要和iconology连起来看才行。理论做explanation很好，original 且unique；作method指导criticism不太够。
