O sztuce „nieczystej”, różnie rozumianych obrazach i konkurencyjnych modelach ich interpretacji

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the chosen aspects of varied models of defining the image and research practices created by the contemporary art studies – Visual Culture Studies, anthropologically oriented Bildwissenschaft and the French pictorial semiology. What they all have in common is interdisciplinarity that constitutes a response to the „impurity” of art, trespassing its own borders, being autocritical and exposing not only the artistic, but also political, religious, existential and biological status of the image.
