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

Sun Oct 04 23:22:37 GMT 2015






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
