Nancy’s challenging and inspiring writings on painting, film, photography, video and contemporary visual art have informed the work of scholars of visual culture and aesthetic theory as well as artists, filmmakers and curators.In an exciting range of original responses to Nancy’s work, this collection reanimates the dialogue between interdisciplinary scholars and practicing artists that originally gave birth to visual culture as a field of study. A new translation of Nancy’s essay, The Image: Mimesis and Methexis, reveals how Nancy’s work informs, challenges and inspires our encounters with visual culture.Carrie Giunta is a Visiting Research Fellow at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London. Adrienne Janus is lecturer in English, Comparative Literature and Visual Culture at the University of Aberdeen.
