The book also provides some neat summaries and application of key theoretical ideas that Mitchell has developed over the decades - so his account of iconology, the pictorial turn and the metapicture. He adds to these an argument about cloning and leads to the idea of a biopicture (echoing Foucault's biopolitics). The relationship between clones and images is interesting, but I find the argument gets a little forced and I didn't find the biopicture particularly convincing. Nonetheless, the book - even in what it doesn't end up doing - is an excellent example of what image studies can achieve... and what we need it to achieve...
