Informationen zum Autor Rose Marie San Juan is Reader in History of Art at University College London. Klappentext This book traces world journeys of early modern visual images from Europe to distant parts of the world - India, Japan, China, Brazil, Chile - and their return, altered but still recognizable, and ready to be reused with an awareness of their recent travels. San Juan introduces a radical contingency into our sense of the past by treating the early modern image as a site of potential animation without resolution, and as a result the 'early modern' itself becomes a site of openness and possibility. -- Michael Gaudio. Oxford Art Journal, 35.3 Vertiginous Mirrors is a deeply original, provocative and sometimes brilliant rethinking of the status of the visual image in early modern Europe. Her readings of seventeeth-century Jesuit imagery convincingly make the case that, in order to get to the truths we seek so far afield, we should learn to travel with images. -- Michael Gaudio.
