Using Power Search to look for titles that deal with images and sorting by newest to oldest, pulled up
Digital and other virtualities [electronic resource] : renegotiating the image [N7433.8 ONLINE RESOURCE 2010].

The World Cat summary notes the author draws on concrete practices, ranging from film, video and chatrooms to airport spaces, conceptual art and textiles, to offer critically engaged, sometimes sceptical, analyses of contemporary image worlds in the light of a continuing allegiance to grounded histories and critical practice.

The book description in Amazon has a less than clear beginning. In this transdisciplinary book, major artists, filmmakers, film theorists, philosophers, literary critics, information theorists and cultural analysts examine the twists and turns of the contesting terms of virtuality and indexicality in contemporary cultural theory in relation to history, trauma, sexuality, textuality, anxiety, simulated lives, code, digital cinema, science fiction, and contemporary art.

The World Cat summary would have me trying the book.The beginning of the book description in Amazon does not have the same immediate appeal.

This book is available through our e-book collection. Check with your campus librarian for the log in. Then decide for yourself whether World Cat or the beginning of the book description adequately reflect the written word.
