The image, before representing, to signify, acts and makes act. The performance of images, which this book undertakes exploration, is to be understood first of all as the evaluation of their effectiveness: what are the effects of images? It is then their agency: in what way are images living beings? It is also their performativity: as there are acts of speech, there are acts of image whose modalities can be detailed. Finally, it is their power: what can an image, including a text, for example, be incapable?

Christian image holds a special place here because, far from being a simple "Bible of illiterate "subject to the reign of the text, it permeates all aspects of the life and thought of Christian societies, from their theological and anthropological foundations - God created man in his image; the Son is the image of the Father - up to the most diverse uses of visual objects. But in the West it is not only in the Middle Ages that the images are active: this book is also devoted to the new forms of visual performances that appeared with the Renaissance or the mass-media society.

L’image, avant de représenter, de signifier, agit et fait agir. La performance des images, dont ce livre entreprend l’exploration, est à comprendre d’abord comme l’évaluation de leur efficacité : quels sont les effets des images ? C’est ensuite leur agentivité : en quelle manière les images sont-elles des êtres vivants ? C’est aussi leur performativité : comme il y a des actes de parole, il y a des actes d’image dont les modalités peuvent être détaillées. Enfin, c’est leur puissance : que peut une image, dont un texte, par exemple, serait incapable ?

L’image chrétienne tient ici une place à part car, loin d’être une simple « Bible des illettrés » soumise au règne du texte, elle imprègne tous les aspects de la vie et de la pensée des sociétés chrétiennes, depuis leurs fondements théologiques et anthropologiques – Dieu créa l’homme à son image ; le Fils est l’image du Père – jusqu’aux utilisations les plus diverses des objets visuels. Mais en Occident ce n’est pas seulement au Moyen Âge que les images sont actives : ce livre est aussi consacré aux nouvelles formes de performances visuelles qui sont apparues avec la Renaissance ou la société mass-médiatique.
