Kontextbildung als anthropologischer Zweck von Bildkompetenz

Abstract

The anthropological function of pictures lies in conveying initial context build-ing, i.e., the genesis of the capacity to focus on situations that are not current-ly present. In order to support that thesis, we first recapitulate the concept of communication with two ways of presentation enclosed therein which are central to language competence and picture competence. Thereby a path opens up to define perceptoid media in more detail, through which a transi-tion to initial context building can be suggested. However, it becomes clear, too, that the ability to present oneself as a picture user has to be stabilized by further acts of communication. In the end, they also lead to the option of con-text building without a fallback on perceptoid media that we generally call visual imagination.
