Images increasingly saturate our world, making present to us what is distant or obscure. Yet the power of images also arises from what they do not make present—from a type of absence they do not dispel. Joining a growing multidisciplinary conversation that rejects an understanding of images as lifeless objects, this book offers a theological meditation on the ways images convey presence into our world. Just as Christ negates himself in order to manifest the invisible God, images, Natalie Carnes contends, negate themselves to give more than they literally or materially are. Her Christological reflections bring iconoclasm and iconophilia into productive relation, suggesting that they need not oppose one another. Investigating such images as the biblical golden calf and paintings of the Virgin Mary, Carnes explores how to distinguish between iconoclasms that maintain fidelity to their theological intentions and those that lead to visual temptation. Offering ecumenical reflections on issues that have long divided Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox traditions, Image and Presence provokes a fundamental reconsideration of images and of the global image crises of our time.

In den jüngsten bildtheoretischen Debatten hat die Idee der Zeugenschaft steigende Konjunktur erlebt. Bilder sind nicht nur »stumme Zeugen«, sie halten vielmehr die Aussagen von Augenzeugen fest, und werden so zu historischen Quellen. Sowohl die Bilder als auch ihre Betrachter werden somit selbst zu »Augenzeugen« eines Ereignisses und das »Sehen mit den eigenen Augen« zu einem Kriterium von Evidenz. Die vorliegenden Beiträge widmen sich extremen Bildern des christlichen Opfertodes, wobei sie die Bildgeschichte des Martyriums als Zeugenschaft thematisieren. Hierbei werden bislang kaum untersuchte Verbindungen zwischen der martyriologischen Bildtradition und den Evidenzverfahren in der Theologie, den Naturwissenschaften und im Bereich des Rechts in den Fokus genommen. Das Verhältnis zwischen »testimonium« und Bildevidenz wird auf diese Weise vielschichtig diskutiert, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf die Zeit um 1600 gelegt ist.

The existing studies and lines of research around the Solidarity Organization of the Peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America and the Tricontinental design are relatively recent in the field of history. There is no work that has delved into the materials collected within the more than one hundred and eighty-four issues published by the Tricontinental magazine to date. This study, which delves into the history of the organization and into the analysis of three specific representational models of Tricontinental graphic art, aspires to offer new interpretive keys around the Femininity of the Global South, the image of Ernesto Che Guevara and the Imperialism from an alternative point of view scarcely worked until now in the field of historical research.

The life of the poor rural worker appears to have been one of unmitigated toil within an unequal society, a reality seldom endorsed in paintings of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.The contemporary viewer, who constituted less than three per cent of the population, wished to see visions of the idyllic golden landscapes of Merrie England peopled by happy contented workers, or, alternatively, images of the Big House, a feature and phenomenon now marching over the countryside, fed by a new building frenzy. This particular element would soon evolve into an all-consuming preoccupation
