Description:
The Collegium for the Advanced Study of Picture Act and Embodiment (Humboldt University, Berlin) aims to transform the prevailing mimesis theory of pictures, which argues that images are conceived as likenesses, into a Picture Act Theory. Its focus lies in research on the specific form of images, their vitality, and the substitution of body and image. The research in partly grounded in the philosophy of Peirce.
