Description:

The emergence of New Media has stimulated debate about the power of the visual to dethrone the cultural prominence of textuality and print. Some scholars celebrate the proliferation of digital images, arguing that it suggests a return to a pictorial age when knowledge was communicated through images as well as through words. Others argue that the inherent conflict between texts and images creates a battleground between the feminized, seductive power of images and the masculine rationality of the printed word. Eloquent Images suggests that these debates misunderstand the dynamic interplay that has always existed between word and image.

Arguing that the complex relationship between text and image in New Media does not represent a radical rupture from the past, the book examines rhetorical and cultural uses of word and image both historically and currently. It shows that complex, interpenetrating relationships between verbal and visual communication systems were already evident in hieroglyphic writing and in ancient rhetoric and persist in the work of classical rhetoricians, in cultural studies of technology, even in the binary code distinctions of digital environments. The essays blend theory, critique, and design practice to explore the often contradictory relations of word and image. All of them call for theoretically grounded approaches to hypermedia design.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述:
新媒體的出現引發了關於視覺能否推翻文字和印刷的文化主導地位的討論。一些學者讚揚數字圖像的大量出現,認為這表明知識的傳遞不僅僅依靠文字,還依靠圖像。其他人則認為,文字和圖像之間的固有衝突創造了圖像的女性化、誘人的力量和印刷文字的男性理性之間的戰場。《雄辯的圖像》認為這些爭論誤解了文字和圖像之間一直存在的動態互動。該書認為,新媒體中文字和圖像之間的複雜關係並不代表與過去的根本斷裂,它從歷史和現在的角度探討了文字和圖像的修辭和文化用途。書中指出,文字和圖像之間的複雜、相互滲透的關係早在象形文字和古代修辭學中就已經存在,並且在古典修辭學家的作品中、在對技術的文化研究中,甚至在數字環境的二進制代碼區分中仍然存在。這些文章結合了理論、評論和設計實踐,探討了文字和圖像之間常常矛盾的關係。所有這些文章都呼籲在超媒體設計中採用理論基礎的方法。
