Proceedings of the 3rd International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Image and Imagination
This book gathers peer-reviewed papers presented at the 3rd International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Image and Imagination (IMG), held in Milano, Italy, in November 2021. Highlighting interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary research concerning graphics science and education, the papers address theoretical research as well as applications, including education, in several fields of science, technology and art. Mainly focusing on graphics for communication, visualization, description and storytelling, and for learning and thought construction, the book provides architects, engineers, computer scientists, and designers with the latest advances in the field, particularly in the context of science, arts and education.

Pensiero Tecnica Creatività
Il presente volume nasce nel quadro delle Celebrazioni Leonardesche, tenutesi a 500 anni dalla morte dell’artista, scienziato e filosofo. I saggi qui raccolti intendono approfondire il rapporto che si instaura tra l’essere umano e il regno della natura, a partire dal confronto con il pensiero e l’opera di Leonardo da Vinci e dei principali autori della cultura umanistico-rinascimentale, senza dimenticare le problematiche legate alla trasformazione dei concetti di arte e di natura tra l’età moderna e il mondo contemporaneo. Le tematiche trattate, che investono gli ambiti della tecnica e della creatività, sono affrontate secondo una prospettiva interdisciplinare, all’insegna del dialogo tra la riflessione filosofica, le discipline tecniche e le arti figurative, e con la ferma convinzione che un’adeguata problematizzazione dei plessi concettuali in gioco nel Rinascimento richieda un confronto tra quegli ambiti disciplinari in cui il pensiero, la tecnica e la creatività si trovano a operare in sinergia.
Leonardo da Vinci
This incisive and illuminating biography follows the three themes that shaped the life of Leonardo da Vinci and, through him, forever changed Western art and imagination: nature, art, and self-fashioning. Nature and art helped form Leonardo. He spent his first twelve years in the Tuscan countryside before entering the most reputed artistic workshop of Florence. There he blossomed as one of the most promising painters of his time and promptly applied his skills to explore and question the world through science and invention. Leonardo was also self-fashioned: he received only a basic education and grew up around peasants and artisans. But from the 1480s onwards, he transformed himself into a c...

Image Studies
"Image Studies provides an engaging introduction to visual studies analysis and an account of existing and emergent visual culture debates, along with chapters on a range of topics, including: consumer culture and identity; photography and digital imaging; painting and drawing; the moving image; the relationship between image and text (including reference to text in art, comics and animation); and scientific imaging. Written in an engaging and accessible way, the text will also include extracts of existing critical materials. Each chapter will include key set readings, including short extracts from existing literatures with accompanying study notes and questions. The chapters will also include a range of critical and creative tasks, designed to bring the academic study of visual culture into direct contact with practical aspects of visual culture and image-making. Image Studies is a new text aimed predominantly at undergraduate students in visual culture, but which will also be useful for media studies students and arts students more generally"--
The Digital Humanities
The digital humanities in academic institutions, and libraries in particular, have exploded in recent years. Librarians are constantly developing their management and technological skills and increasing their knowledge base. As they continue to embed themselves in the scholarly conversations on campus, the challenges facing subject/liaison librarians, technical service librarians, and library administrators are many. This comprehensive volume highlights the wide variety of theoretical issues discussed, initiatives pursued, and projects implemented by academic librarians. Many of the chapters deal with digital humanities pedagogy—planning and conducting training workshops, institutes, semes...
