The authors consider the relationship between knowledge and image,
though multi-faceted, to be one of reciprocal dependence. But how do
images carry and convey knowledge? The ambiguities of images means
that interpretations do not necessarily follow the intention of the
image producers. Through an array of different cases, the chapters
critically reflect upon how images are mobilised and used in different
knowledge practices, within certain knowledge traditions, in different
historical periods. They question what we take for granted, what seems
evident, what goes without saying. This approach spans across
established categories such as «scientific imaging», «religious
images» and «artworks», and considers how images may contribute
meaning across such categories.
