Language philosophers in the Peircean and Analytical traditions quite unanimously agree that ”images” in the sense of visual monophase representations cannot represent propositional structures or ”speech”. There is, however, more to visual representation than the signs that in Peircean semiotics are termed ”iconic”, i.e. signs characterized by singular relationships of similarity between expression and content. The interpretation of dyadic relationships between actors within a framed scene, or between the framed scenes of a polyphase representation, involves the cognition of indexical and deictic cues in the form of gazes, gestures and recurring elements/actors. The importance of contextual links for reconstructing an implied ”reading” of images in accordance with symbolical conventions or habits was documented already in J.J. Tikkanen’s studies of the iconography of gestures, and has been further confirmed by recent studies of stone-age petroglyphs in Scandinavia.Lisäkuvaus
