Title: New Perspectives In Iconology Visual Studies And Anthropology
Description: In this book the authors investigate how iconology as a field and method, which originated within art history, relates to recent developments in the Humanities such as Anthropology and Visual Studies. The main questions are: How has iconology evolved in the past decennia, could it incorporate Anthropology and Visual Studies towards a new science of images? How have new disciplines profited from iconology and how can they in turn inspire and/or reinvent iconology? These questions are addressed within a wide historical andgeographical scope, as we regard the tracing of pictorial meaning throughout time and space an essential characteristic of iconology.
