Einzelbild & Narrativität

The specialized book "Single Image & Narrativity" offers an in-depth analysis of the role of still monoscenic image types in today's media landscape. In an era where visual representations are ubiquitous, the volume examines how such images highlight specific moments of action and can be interpreted as part of a possible world. The authors, including Klaus Sachs-Hombach and Andreas Veits, illuminate the reception side of narrativization and its connection to various image-theoretical disciplines such as phenomenology, semiotics, and media studies. Using a well-known image example from the artist Banksy, the narrative potentials of these image types are evaluated, incorporating aspects from advertising, social media, and political caricature. The book is aimed at readers interested in the intersections between image and narration and offers valuable insights into the complex relationship between visual media and narrative structures.
