Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The essays collected here question the old orthodoxies of the image as a formal object, take note of the new condition of the image and its intersection with time and suggest new ways of configuring the relationship between them.

Library Journal Review

The intended audience for the 13 essays in Time and the Image is more difficult to predict. An essay by critic Thierry de Duve starts with an explanation of why his piece has been rewritten: "Rereading my original text, I realized I had made it much too elliptical." Considering the opacity of the rewrite, the original is unimaginable and this particular essay is not the worst of the bunch. Studded with untranslated German, ancient Greek, French, and Latin phrases as well as cryptic references to fashionable philosophers, the essays are appropriate only for those with a doctorate and a great deal of time on their hands. Many of the essays can be read like Monty Python sketches: imagine John Cleese uttering Peter Wollen's concluding sentence, "I believe that Goethe might even have appreciated the shower-bath murder in Psycho." The 16 illustrations are not enough to redeem this academic twaddle. Tempus Fugit, with 113 illustrations, is recommended for academic and large public libraries.
