TRANSVISUALITY: ON VISUAL MATTERING

Qulitative Inquiry, 2018

With this special issue, we aim to address visibility not just as a representation of the social, but as an aspect and element of social and cultural orders sui generis. The texts in this volume are dedicated to understanding the practices, power relations and the technological infrastructures in which (audio)-visual practices unfold. To make our proposition clear, we lay out a methodological strategy that we – drawing from the French debate – call sociology with the image. Then we provide an overview of the articles in this special issue and point to some ongoing tensions within qualitative inquiry more broadly.

Catholic University of Portugal VI Lisbon Summer School

The paper addresses the notion of Transvisuality in the terms of an ongoing experiment in Lisbon, Portugal. A small alley in the touristic district of Belém is since 2008 the stage for a series of urban interventions which offer passersby a distinct experience, contributing decisively to a communicative identity, resulting from the confluence of art and the urbanscape, opticality and place branding. In this paper I want to address how transvisuality is a dimension contributing to the success of this endeavour. The three works analysed in the paper are part of an art programme commissioned by Projecto Travessa da Ermida, having been realized between 2012 and 2013.

Qualitative Inquiry, 2018

With this special issue, we aim to address visibility not just as a representation of the social, but as an aspect and element of social and cultural orders and actions sui generis. The texts in this volume are dedicated to understanding the practices, power relations and the technological infrastructures in which (audio)-visual practices unfold. To make our proposition clear, we lay out a methodological strategy that we—drawing from French, German and Anglo-Saxon debate—call sociology with the image. Then we provide an overview of the articles in this special issue and point to some ongoing tensions within qualitative inquiry more broadly.

REGAC - Revista de Estudios Globales y Arte Contempor�neo

Este volumen de REGAC se propone investigar la alianza teórica entre el arte visual y la traducción. El concepto de traducción visual se relaciona con una noción hermenéutica que reflexiona sobre las complejidades del artefacto artístico contemporáneo, pero también con un intento epistemológico de reflexionar entorno a los intercambios culturales y lingüísticos que se dan entre sujetos y eventos internacionales. Los artículos reunidos en cuatro ejes temáticos, o zonas de contactos – lingüística, cultural, intercultural e intermedial - permiten validar la teorización de un giro de la traducción dentro de la teoría del arte visual en los últimos veinte años Traducción visual, traducción cultural, arte visual, interculturalidad, intermedialidad, giro de la traducción. This issue of REGAC aims to investigate the theoretical alliance between art and visual translation. The concept of visual translation is related to both a hermeneutical notion that reflects on the complexities of the co...

Continental Philosophy Review, 2023

This review of Emmanuel Alloa's Looking through Images considers the author's arguments with regard to their philosophical bearings and their significance for modern visual aesthetics. Particular attention is paid to the way that the traditions of Platonic and Aristotelian Realism are linked to modern phenomenological theory (Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Marion). Alloa's elegant and lucid exploration of the image as a form of non-propositional cognition makes this monograph a landmark document in contemporary visual studies and aesthetic theory. Keywords Image theory • Phenomenology • Media theory • Plato • Aristotle • Husserl Considering the sharply divergent styles and concerns of Anglo-American and European philosophy, respectively, it is perhaps not surprising, though still regrettable, that it should have taken ten years for this remarkable book to be translated into English. Making at last its appearance a decade after its original publication in German (Das durchscheinende Bild: Konturen einer medialen Phänomenologie, 2011), Emmanuel Alloa's Looking Through Images: A Phenomenology of Visual Mediaably rendered into English by Nils F. Schott-should help establish its author on this side of the Atlantic as a leading thinker on the interconnected fields of phenomenology, visual studies, as well as image-, icon-, and media theory. English translations of a number of Alloa's essays had prepared the ground for this reception, as did his excellent introduction to the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty (Resistance to the Sensible World, 2017).

Studies, for providing general oversight on the content of the exhibition. In addition, Thomas Lentz provided sage feedback on catalogue and exhibition texts, while Qamar Adamjee, Ladan Akbarnia, Mika Natif, and Fahmida Suleman were kind enough to discuss earlier versions of the structure. Without Stefano Carboni's original proposal, we would not have planned an exhibition on this theme. A debt is due to him, and we look forward to seeing his exploration of the topic come to fruition. I would also like to express gratitude to the artists, colleagues, and private collectors who provided support for loans and images, originally on a very tight deadline:
