Image Word Action / Bild Wort Aktion / Imago Sermo Actio

This volume compiles 23 essays aiming to programmatically define the relationship between the theory of image acts and the philosophy of embodiment. Taking the perspective of different disciplines – from language theory to art history – the authors examine the interconnections between image act and embodiment. Applying concepts such as active matter and scenic iconology, they begin to shape the contours of a new cultural theory.
