There are tow purposes here: (1) To reveal intrinsic features of the ‘image’ itself, (2) To consider what kind of sense could be generated by stimulating our sensibility. As for procedure of the concrete analysis, the author first reveals the structure of the representation of ‘image’, based on semiological interpretation. Secondly, the author analyzes the features of ‘image’ and the structure of human sense of sight through a concept introduced by Benjamin, namely, the ‘optical unconscious’.
