Eyewitnessing: The Uses of Images as Historical Evidence (Picturing History Series) de Peter Y. Burke
Descripción - Críticas 'Well-informed and fair-minded, and it prompts one to ponder.'--Michael Baxandall 'English Historical Review ' Reseña del editor Eyewitnessing evaluates the place of images among other kinds of historical evidence. By reviewing the many varieties of images by region, period and medium, and looking at the pragmatic uses of images (e.g. the Bayeux Tapestry, an engraving of a printing press, a reconstruction of a building), Peter Burke sheds light on our assumption that these practical uses are 'reflections' of specific historical meanings and influences. He also shows how this assumption can be problematic. Traditional art historians have depended on two types of analysis when dealing with visual imagery: iconography and iconology. Burke describes and evaluates these approaches, concluding that they are insufficient. Focusing instead on the medium as message and on the social contexts and uses of images, he discusses both religious images and political ones, also looking at images in advertising and as commodities. Ultimately, Burke's purpose is to show how iconographic and post-iconographic methods psychoanalysis, semiotics, viewer response, deconstruction are both useful and problematic to contemporary historians.' Biografía del autor Peter Burke is professor of cultural history at the University of Cambridge, UK. His books include What is Cultural History? and Popular Culture in Early Modern Europe.
