With subjects ranging from prehistoric artworks to excavation drawings, scientific illustrations, and artists impressions of ancient sites and contemporary landscapes, The Cultural Life of Images explores how pictures and representations of the past shape our perceptions and our expectations of that past. This volume is not concerned with the accuracy of pictures from the past or directly about the past itself, but is interested instead as to why certain subjects are selected, why they are depicted the way they are, and what effects such images have on our idea of the past. This collection constitutes a ground-breaking study in historiography which radically reassesses the ways in which history can be written.

They are often overooked as objects of anaysis themseves, and tend to be seen simpy as adjuncts to the text. Images, however, are not passive, and have a direct impact that engages attention in ways independent of any specific text. Advertising, entertainment and propaganda have reaised the extent of this power to shape ideas, but the scientific community has hitherto negected the ways in which visua materia conditions the ways in which we think. With subjects incuding prehistoric artworks, excavation iustrations, artists' impressions of ancient sites and peopes and contemporary andscapes, photographs and drawings, this study expores how pictures shape our perceptions and our expectations of the past. This voume is not concerned with the accuracy of pictures from the past or directy about the past itsef, but is interested instead in why certain subjects are seected, why they are depicted the way they are, and what effects such images have on our idea of the past. This coection constitutes a ground-breaking study in historiography which radicay reassesses the ways that history can be written. (Hardback).
