Hello, everybody! I am interested in learning more on imagology studies. Could you recommend schools, centers, researches or researchers or any other contribution in this field? Thank you
Because you are studying cultural stereotypes as presented in literature etc., I would recommend you first immediately explore your interests with Google Images.
I would like to recommend , for exemple the book entitled Imagology , the cultural construction , edited by Joep Leerssen and Manfred Beller. D. H. Pageaux from the " French school" has also interesting works about Imagology .
I am engaged in research in the field of study of images. I recommend that you turn to study of an image in Non-Traditional Psychoanalysis and works by Andrey Davydov and Olga Skorbatyuk. You might be interested in their point of view (or to be more precise, in results of many years of research) that an image is the basis of functioning of psychophysiology of Homo sapiens. And, that images influence a human at the genetic level. (Please refer to attached publications. In book Homo Sapiens Are Bio-Robots: Human "Software" (Catalog Of Human Souls. Vol. 1.) please refer to Part 1 – Unit 5: Images From 山海經 (Shan Hai Jing) Are The Language Of Human "Software," Pattern, Blueprint, Based On Which Nature Creates Homo Sapiens.). Moreover, you might be curious to find out which images (archetypes) constitute individual archetypal pattern of an individual, and learn about new research and discoveries in the field of study of what human psyche is, what its structure is and how this structure can be uncovered in each individual case. As a psychologist, I also participate in these studies and have been using Non-Traditional Psychoanalysis on practice for over 7 years. Therefore, if you decide to get acquainted with this research and will have any questions, etc., I will be happy to communicate with you on this topic.
Hello, I can recommend Hugo Dyserinck or Elke Mehnert. You can also read about history, terminology or methods of imagology in my book from 2015 - http://www.frank-timme.de/verlag/verlagsprogramm/buch/verlagsprogramm/bd-2-michaela-voltrova-terminologie-methodologie-und-perspektiven-der-komparatistischen-imagolo/backPID/studien-zur-komparatistischen-imagologie.html .
