O livro Imagem: diálogos e interfaces interdisciplinares nasceu da ideia desenvolvida por um grupo de docentes da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, ao estabelecer diálogos sobre o tema Imagem entre diferentes áreas de conhecimento. As imagens se fazem presentes de forma significativa no cotidiano humano e a pesquisa em torno delas possibilita novas formas de comunicações, interpretações e estéticas diferenciadas, alicerçadas em fundamentos, teorias e práticas que requeiram um domínio visual próprio e a busca ininterrupta dos sentidos definidores do próprio conhecimento. Assim, a Imagem foi o tema gerador escolhido para realizar reflexões interdisciplinares teórico-práticas que contribuirão para a construção de um conhecimento que supere as fronteiras disciplinares. Importante destacar que cada área de conhecimento possui distintas concepções e formas de abordar a Imagem. Tal pressuposto justifica as diferentes metodologias adotadas no decorrer dos capítulos do livro. Na estrutura da obra apresentaremos, de um lado, distintas metodologias provenientes de diferentes áreas, e de outro, novas possibilidades de refletir crítica, teórica e metodologicamente sobre estudos, pesquisas e produções ligados à Imagem. O livro apresenta discussões que remontam à década de 1980 e de discussões atuais, de pesquisadores nacionais e internacionais. O livro pode ser fonte de estudos interdisciplinares sobre Imagem, tanto em nível de graduação quanto de pós-graduação.

Performing the jumbled city is a complex artefact beyond its own materiality. Linked to a dedicated website hosting additional audio-visual materials, the book acts as a connecting device allowing an exchange between texts, audio-visual materials, and original artworks, situating it in the emerging field of multi-modal ethnography. From this stance, and as an edited collection co-authored with urban indigenous artists and activists, it interrogates the ways in which knowledge is built and shared. The book is constructed as a particular kind of edited collection, shifting between different authorships. The resulting interaction between individual and collective essays draws together scholars' and activists' perspectives in a rich exchange between textual, visual and dramatic sections, for the book is organised around the original script of the site-specific performance Santiago Waria, and the related exhibition MapsUrbe.Making a claim for creation, rather than recuperation, the essays contained in the book put forward alternative imaginations that disrupt the social and material landscape of the (post)colonial city, defying the spatialities usually assigned to colonised bodies and subjects. As such, and actively engaging with current debates through collective writing by indigenous people raising questions in terms of decolonisation, the book stands as both an academic and a political project, interrogating the relationship between activism and academia, and issues of representation, authorship, and knowledge production.

This accessible book explains the significance of relationships between the body and the mark, visual imitation, drawing and writing and visual storytelling, providing a simple guide to these key ideas. For millennia drawing has been conceived as an exploratory activity, mediating between the vision of the drafter and what they are drawing. Drawing reveals hidden relationships, directs attention, scrutinises the material world and provides plans for further action. The book unpacks the key ideas that have shaped the rich, complex and foundational activity of drawing. It presents an unexpected, engaging and authoritative range of illustrated examples of drawings made by culturally and historically diverse people for different purposes, with different media, in widely different times and situations. Educator, author and artist Simon Grennan builds together concepts to create a complete guide to ideas about drawing.

"The Power of the In-Between: Intermediality as a Tool for Aesthetic Analysis and Critical Reflection gathers fourteen individual case studies where intermedial issues—issues concerning that which takes place in between media—are explored in relation to a range of different cultural objects and contexts, different methodological approaches, and different disciplinary perspectives. The cases investigate the intermediality of such manifold objects and phenomena as contemporary installation art, twentieth-century geography books, renaissance sculpture, media theory, and public architecture of the 1970s. They also bring together scholars from the disciplines of art history, comparative literature, theatre studies, musicology, and the history of ideas.Starting out from an inclusive understanding of intermediality as “relations between media conventionally perceived as different,” each author specifies and investigates “intermediality” in their own particular case; that is, each examines how it is inflected by particular objects, methods, and research questions. “Intermediality” thus serves both as a concept employed to cover an inclusive range of cultural objects, cultural contexts, methodological approaches, and so on, and as a concept to be modelled out by the particular cases it is brought to bear on. Rather than merely applying a predefined concept, the objectives are experimental. The authors explore the concept of intermediality as a malleable tool of research.This volume further makes a point of transgressing the divide between media history and semiotically and/or aesthetically oriented intermedial studies. The former concerns the specificity of media technologies and media interrelations in socially, politically, and epistemologically defined space and time, and the latter targets formal considerations of media objects and its various meaning-making elements. These two conventionally separated fields of research are integrated in order to produce a richer understanding of the analytical and historical, as well as the aesthetic and technological, conditions and possibilities of intermedial phenomena."

How can Michel Foucault’s notion of heterotopias be transposed into a concept that describes medial and, more specifically, virtual spaces? What could such virtualized heterotopias look like? Can we find traces of utopian thinking within them? Zones*Virtopiques answers these questions in two ways: first by constructing a conceptual framework using notions of utopia and heterotopia, as well as reality and virtuality; and second, by applying theoretical findings to Zone*Interdite, a media art project on military areas authored by Mathias Jud and Christoph Wachter. Therefore, a micro-analysis of medial dispositifs has been developed. Wie kann Michel Foucaults Konzept der Heterotopien, der Anderen Orte, auf mediale und im Speziellen auf virtuelle Räume übertragen werden und wie könnten virtuelle oder virtualisierte Heterotopien aussehen? In welchem Verhältnis stehen Heterotopien zur Tradition utopischen Denkens? Und lassen sich insbesondere in virtualisierten Heterotopien Restbestände eines utopischen Impulses aufspüren? Diese Fragen nach dem common ground dieser speziellen (Nicht-)Orte (zones hétérotopiques, utopiques et virtuelles) sucht Zones Virtopiques auf zweifache Weise zu beantworten: Unter Bezugnahme auf kultur- und medienwissenschaftliche sowie auf sozial- und raumwissenschaftliche Theorien nähert sich der erste Teil des Buches entlang der Kategorien Realität/Virtualität und Utopie/Heterotopie dem frag-würdigen Gegenstand auf einer konzeptionellen Ebene. Der zweite Teil wendet die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse im Rahmen einer Mikroanalyse medialer Dispositive auf das Medienkunstprojekt Zone*Interdite von Mathias Jud und Christoph Wachter an.
