• Sommario/riassunto: This volume presents the work of the "Collegium for the Advanced Study of the Picture Act and Embodiment" at the London Warburg Institute. It gathers studies on various topics: on the history and anthropology of the "picture act" (Bildakt); on theoretical and methodological aspects of picture act theory; on the role of image ; perception in the philosophy of the extended mind; on phenomena related to haptic experience of the image in the Middle Ages and early modern period; on somatic communication processes; on semiotic aspects of iconological thinking; and on the living dynamics of internal and external movement in imagery and language.
