This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the face, defined not only as the human physical constitution, but in a metaphorical and cultural sense, and its connection with society.Bridging the analogue and the digital, the face is examined, step by step, from multiple perspectives and analysed within a qualitative-semiotic framework. With art as the underlying paradigm, semiotics as the founding discipline, and the face as subject of study, the author positions the face as a distinct landscape, offering the tools to study the metaphorical face and space as a panorama. Tracing historical conceptions of the face, along with the iconography and artefacts associated with it, the author follows an experimental and abductive methodology that culminates in a complex constellation of insights on the subject.This book will interest specialists in the fields of visual semiotics, languages of art, creative industries and cultural heritage, humanities and philosophy.
