[ecrea] journal issue: On Icons: Media, Visibility, Materiality, and Cultural Power

The last (special) issue of the open-access journal "Sociologica" is 
entitled "On Icons: Media, Visibility, Materiality, and Cultural Power", 
and it is freely available online:

http://www.sociologica.mulino.it/journal/issue/index/Issue/Journal:ISSUE:26

This issue suggests that the category of "iconicity" can provide fertile 
ground for exploring connections and constructing dialogues among 
different strands in the social sciences and humanities that have so far 
developed almost independently of each other. On this basis, it aims at 
posing the concept of “icon” (and "iconic power") at the centre of 
contemporary cultural research, by considering such an area of 
investigation as a prism through which to more effectively re-articulate 
and bring into focus ongoing debates at the intersection of visual 
culture, material culture, and media in our increasingly global and 
digital age.

Thank you,

Best Wishes,

Marco Solaroli
