About the project

The VISUAL CONTAGIONS project studies the global circulation of images in the print age over a century, from the 1890s to the advent of the internet. It describes and analyzes how some images are circulated more than others and through which channels, and in what chronology they were disseminated. The goal is to understand what makes an image successful, but also to identify how the circulation of images has contributed to the globalization of cultures, and whether or not it reveals the symbolic domination of certain countries and cultures over others, depending on the period.
