The Lives of Images, Vol. 2: Analogy, Attunement, and Attention
The Lives of Images, the second volume in a thematic reader series edited by Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa, explores how reproducible images affect identity, resistance, and government power. It looks into the role of images in shaping society, the effects of digital technology, and the politics surrounding attention. Key contributors to the book include Judith Butler, Victor Burgin, and Tina Campt, among others. Released by Aperture on November 30, 2021, this 328-page paperback discusses how images can both empower and restrict our perceptions, influencing how we interact socially. Wolukau-Wanambwa, a photographer and graduate director of the MFA program in photography at the Rhode Island School of Design, has exhibited his work at prestigious venues like the International Center of Photography.
