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."
