Die Erfindung der Bildwissenschaft: Mit seiner Bild-Anthropologie gibt Hans Belting international richtungsweisende Impulse für eine grundlegende Revision von Selbstverständnis und Methoden der Kunstgeschichte. Mit seinem bekannten Buch Bild und Kult hat Hans Belting vor einiger Zeit die Schwelle zur Bildgeschichte überschritten. In der Bild-Anthropologie verfolgt er diesen Weg konsequent weiter und macht die gesamte Komplexität des Themas »Bild« sichtbar: vom Totenkult des alten Orients bis zur Photographie und zur virtuellen Realität in den heutigen Medien. Hans Belting hat damit eines der bedeutendsten Werke für die Entwicklung der Bildwissenschaft erarbeitet. Er untersucht darin sowohl die Entfaltung der Mediengesellschaft als auch die anhaltende »Krise der Repräsentation«.

La figuration n’est pas tout entière livrée à la fantaisie expressive de ceux qui font des images. On ne figure que ce que l’on perçoit ou imagine, et l’on n’imagine et ne perçoit que ce que l’habitude nous a enseigné à discerner. Le chemin visuel que nous traçons spontanément dans les plis du monde dépend de notre appartenance à l’une des quatre régions de l’archipel ontologique : animisme, naturalisme, totémisme ou analogisme. Chacune correspond à une manière de concevoir l’ossature du monde, d’en percevoir les continuités et les discontinuités, notamment les diverses lignes de partage entre humains et non-humains. Masque yup’ik d’Alaska, peinture sur écorce aborigène, paysage miniature de la dynastie des Song, tableau d’intérieur hollandais du XVIIe siècle : par ce qu’elle montre ou omet de montrer, une image révèle un schème figuratif particulier, repérable par les moyens formels dont elle use, et par le dispositif grâce auquel elle pourra libérer sa puissance d’agir. En comparant avec rigueur des images d’une étourdissante diversité, Philippe Descola pose magistralement les bases théoriques d’une anthropologie de la figuration.

"An innovative analysis of Indigenous strategies for overcoming the settler state. How do bureaucratic documents create and reproduce a state's capacity to see? What kinds of worlds do documents help create? Further, how might such documentary practices and settler colonial ways of seeing be refused? Settler Colonial Ways of Seeing investigates how the Canadian state has used documents, lists, and databases to generate, make visible-and invisible-Indigenous identity. With an archive of legislative documents, registration forms, identity cards, and reports, Danielle Taschereau Mamers traces the political and media history of Indian status in Canada, demonstrating how paperwork has been used by the state to materialize identity categories in the service of colonial governance. Her analysis of bureaucratic artifacts is led by the interventions of Indigenous artists, including Robert Houle, Nadia Myre, Cheryl L'Hirondelle, and Rebecca Belmore. Bringing together media theories of documentation and the strategies of these artists, Settler Colonial Ways of Seeing develops a method for identifying how bureaucratic documents mediate power relations as well as how those relations may be disobeyed and re-imagined. By integrating art-led inquiry with media theory and settler colonial studies approaches, Taschereau Mamers offers a political and media history of the documents that have reproduced Indian status. More importantly, she provides us with an innovative guide for using art as a method of theorizing decolonial political relations. This is a crucial book for any reader interested in the intersection of state archives, settler colonial studies, and visual culture in the context of Canada's complex and violent relationship with Indigenous peoples."--
