Book Synopsis What Do Pictures Want? by : W. J. T. Mitchell
Book excerpt: The author argues that we need to reckon with images not merely as inert objects that convey meaning but as animated beings with desires, needs, appetites, and drives of their own. He explores this idea and highlights his innovative and profoundly influential thinking on picture theory and the lives and loves of images.
