The Index and the Interface (original) (raw)

Representations, 2013

Abstract

In this essay I challenge the rhetoric of the “death of the index” in contemporary media and film theory. Rather than being “dead” in the digital age, I argue, the index reemerges as a particularly helpful category for understanding mediated information, “digital doubt,” and experiences through virtual interfaces.
