Images on the move : materiality networks formats In contemporary society digital images have become increasingly mobile. They are networked shared on social media and circulated across small and portable screens. Accordingly the discourses of spreadability and circulation have come to supersede the focus on production indexicality and manipulability which had dominated early conceptions of digital photography and film. However the mobility of images is neither technologically nor conceptually limited to the realm of the digital. The edited volume re examines the historical aesthetical and theoretical relevance of image mobility. The contributors provide a materialist account of images on the move ranging from wired photography to postcards to streaming media Frontmatter Contents 1.
