Book Synopsis
From painting to poetry to new media technologies, this book theorizes "the image" beyond the logic of representationalism and provokes new ways of engaging topics of embodiment, agency, history, and technology.

Trade Review
"Releasing the Image: From Literature to New Media is essential reading for those wishing to track the continued growth of the image as an unsettled figure in current philosophy and media theory. Dynamically viewed through the different perspectives of this book, the image appears multifaceted, protean, alive, and proliferating—as far from the classical framework of the image-as-static-representation as can be."—Chris Burnett, Afterimage: The Journal of Media Arts and Cultural Criticism
"Releasing the Image is a stunning collection of essays by leading philosophers and media theorists who break with notions of the image as frozen or static, and refocus the debate around topics of embodiment, agency, virtuality and temporality. A brilliantly orchestrated work of intelligence and scope."—Tim Lenoir, Duke University
