  • Malum

    A Theological Hermeneutics of Evil

    by Ingolf U. Dalferth ...
    Translated by Nils F. Schott ...

In doing so, he provides a detailed ... Read more

    A Phenomenology of Visual Media

    by Emmanuel Alloa, Andrew Benjamin ...

    Images have always stirred ambivalent reactions. Yet whether eliciting fascinated gazes or iconoclastic repulsion from their beholders, they have hardly ever been seen as true sources of knowledge. They were long viewed as mere appearances, placeholders for the things themselves or deceptive illusions. Today, the traditional critique of the spectacle has given way to an unconditional embrace of ... Read more

Schmidgen uses the concept of "horn"—whether manifested as a rhinoceros ... Read more

  • Releasing the Image

    From Literature to New Media

    Edited by Jacques Khalip, Robert Mitchell, Giorgio Agamben, Cesare Casarino, Mark Hansen, Peter Geimer ...

Releasing the Image understands images as something beyond mere representations of things. Releasing images from that function, it shows them to be self-referential and self-generative, and in this way ... Read more
