Iconomy: Towards a Political Economy of Images (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring viral imagery of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. Presidents Trump and Biden, Black Lives Matter, as well as the rise of a "black aesthetic" in white artworlds, this book shows that iconopolitics-especially constellations of visual images-has become pervasive within contemporary life. It questions the implications for critical thought and political action.
