I try to deal with the term of image/text or imagetext, as it is used by Mitchell. I am a little confused by this two forms of this term, both used in his texts. I am wondering if there is somewhere in W.J.T. Mitchell a motivation regarding the different spelling of the term, which I guess reveals a different meaning.
Problem solved. I found a footnote in Picture Theory, that says:
"I will employ the typographic convention of the slash to designate “image/text” as a problematic gap, cleavage, or rupture in representation. The term “imagetext” designates composite, synthetic works (or concepts) that combine image and text. “Image-text”, with a hyphen, designates relations of the visual and verbal. The necessity of a concept such as the “imagetext” was first made clear to me by Robert Nelson in our team/taught seminar on “Image and Text”."
