Image, subject, power: Interview with Marie-José Mondzain
When we think about image and visual culture in general, the name Marie-José Mondzain comes to mind. In this interview, she discusses the origin and efficacy of image and image making as they run through history, politics, culture, and across the seeping veins of power in our everyday life. As Mondzain shows here and in other writings, to understand how image works is to understand how individuals, in viewing images, become spectators in their co…
Forum: Covid-19 Dispatches
COVID-19 pandemic is the first truly global crisis in the digital age. With death count worldwide reaching 586,000 merely 7 months after its first outbreak in China in late December 2019 and 13.6 million cases reported in 188 countries and territories as of July 2020, this ongoing pandemic has spread far beyond domain of world health problem to become an unprecedented challenge facing humanity at every level. In addition to causing social and eco…
To read what is not written: From psychoanalysis to rhetoric and back
One of the grand narratives of modernity, psychoanalysis can be read as a genre of speculative discourse that, recognizing the force of living speech, places itself in competition with philosophy and rhetoric. Performative through and through, it uncovers the ambiguity of meaning as it flows from speakers to addressees who stand to the former as more than themselves. Given its emphasis on language and the pragmatic contexts in which analytic disc…
An interview with Marie-José Mondzain: What is an image
Marie-Jose Mondzain is one of the major philosophers writing about image, iconography, and representation today. In this interview, she discusses a few of the central ideas in her approach to and thinking about the nature of image and image-making as they bear upon the emergence of subjectivity and visibility in general. According to Mondzain, images are not visual objects we may or may not see; rather they are the site where the visible and its …

Seeing Goddess in Typhoons
As an extension of the eye, the camera writes the light according to its own inhuman, mechanical terms. The photographic ability to describe the world objectively not only renders indistinguishable the perceptible and the imperceptible but also makes visible the hidden commerce of things across the depths of perception. By considering a set of photographs, this essay demonstrates how the visible world captured by the camera helps reveal what may …
Before the cloud
Clouds have long been thought to be the visible sign of Nature, brought by wind to presage what will befall us from high above. Now the wind – and with it the weather in general – has changed, so c
Incommunicability
Communication presupposes communicability: the ability on the part of the participants in communication to make it possible. At the same time, it is a common experience that, however hard we try, our expressions often fall short of representing our feelings or thoughts, and of communicating to others what we intend to convey. This entry explores incommunicability as a constituent and a condition of communication, even while communicability enjoys…
Of digits and things: Opening remarks
Unlike our eyes, which bring us a world in images, our hands and fingers put us directly in touch with things in the world. Touching things directly, but also feeling themselves being touched at the same time, our hands and fingers are our first medium. But by remaining always contemporary – that is, always ready at hand – they are also our latest medium. Taking this observation as a starting point and keeping the idea of ‘the digital’ as a const…

Failure and success: One cannot come to be without the other; one comes to be always by becoming the other. Inasmuch as failure constitutes the internal horizon of success, a success is always haunted by the coming of failure, whose arrival never fails to (re)open the possibility of an immanent reversal. In fact as well as in principle, failure cannot exist without success, and success does not fail to bring with it what will ruin it, for each un…

Deleuze, Monet, and Being Repetitive
eP erhaps to countervail the complexity of what is to unfold, Gilles Deleuze begins Difference and with a simple statement: Repetition is not generality (1). In view of the simplicity of the sentence and without the benefit of forthcoming arguments, readers are likely to infer that because repetition is not generality, it most probably has to do with something specific or unique, something that resists universalization as well as abstraction. Thi…
Empty intention
This essay defends, through an analytic route, the thesis of the “intentional fallacy” articulated by W. K. Wimsatt and Monroe Beardsley. The relationship between intention and text implied by two conceptions of intention—the minimal‐causal view and the mental‐representative view—remains essentially an empty one. This empty relationship is easily reversible because it lacks the force of causal determination necessary for the fixation of the meani…
