Reviews
Praise for the French Edition " Iconololgie: Image, Texte, Idéologie, first published in 1986, undoubtedly constitutes one of the most rigorous theoretical foundations for the growth in 'visual studies' of the 1990s. W. J. T. Mitchell, professor of literature and art history at the University of Chicago and director of the very influential journal Critical Inquiry, guides us through a subtle reflection on the structural differences between image and language, questioning the systems of power and the value regimes that underpin them, in order to reveal what prevents us from thinking of and with images."

    As described, packing was good - Shipping was followed up on immediately when tracking failed. It was a book I wanted as a gift and I paid for a first edition . Only suggestion to seller is to wrap in waterproof packaging since the post office doesn’t care like ups about dropping packages in the rain - mine was fine but just a thought. Overall fantastic experience. Would purchase again!!! Great support and follow up!
