The study of images and their use as media for communication, ex-pression, reasoning, persuasion and much more, is a relatively recent development in academia - even if the inquiry into the nature and value of depiction goes back to at least Plato. It has several different roots: in philosophers investigating representation and evidence, in art historians exploring the status of one of their major objects, in structuralists advancing the idea of a visual semiotics, in psychologists experiment-ing on perception and cognition, in media scholars focusing on the per-suasive and ideological powers of images, in historians of science scru-tinizing the role of diagrams in the development of the sciences. The study of images is a genuinely interdisciplinary field, and our aim with this book is to provide a snapshot overview of this emerging field of study by means of the special tool developed by the Five Questions book series. Contributions from Mieke Bal, Gernot B�hme, Marta Braun, Horst Bredekamp, James Robert Brown, Matthias Bruhn, James Elkins, Groupe , Robert Hopkins, John Hyman, Claude Imbert, Martin Jay, John M.
