Book Launch - Reading Books and Prints as Cultural Objects

Book Launch -  Reading Books and Prints as Cultural Objects

Dinner Speech 11 July 2018

This book contributes significantly to book, image and media studies from an interdisciplinary, comparative point of view. Its broad perspective spans medieval manuscripts to e-readers. Inventive methodology offers numerous insights into visual, manuscript and print culture: material objects relate to meaning and reading processes; images and texts are examined in varied associations; the symbolic, representational and cultural agency of books and prints is brought forward.
