2018br. È stato un grande campione, ma anche un tossicodipendente. Una star piena di dollari e un uomo di mezza età senza un centesimo. Ma soprattutto, Mike Mitchell è stato una persona vera, capace di misurarsi con debolezze e difetti senza mai mollare. Ad Atlanta, dove nasce, è una star all'High School e al College. Negli anni Settanta inizia la scalata nella Nba dove diventa una stella con i San Antonio Spurs. È la prima vita di Mike, non sarà la sola.La droga gli fa perdere tutto, costringendolo a lasciare gli States. In Italia assapora la terza vita. Gioca con Reggio Emilia un campionato da protagonista, è capocannoniere del torneo e a 41 anni va in campo per la semifinale scudetto. Si riscatta anche come uomo, mette a disposizione dei giovani la sua esperienza, impegnandosi al fianco dei ragazzi tossicodipendenti. La quarta vita si chiude tragicamente. Il cancro ai polmoni, le difficoltà per curarlo, l'aiuto dei vecchi amici. E poi la morte, a 55 anni.
2019br. Il volume abbraccia fenomeni visivi e letterari al confine tra diversi generi di rappresentazione, media e discipline. La prima parte si occupa del ruolo che lo studioso americano W.J.T. Mitchell ha nel panorama teorico della cultura visuale odierna, mentre il suo specifico concetto dell'iconologia viene spiegato come una "sintomatologia culturale" nel costante cambiamento. Nella seconda parte, si discute su genealogia storica e aporie contemporanee dei visual studies, e del ruolo che Mitchell, Moxey, Elkins, Boehm, Belting, Sachs-Hombach e altri teorici e storici dell'arte e della cultura hanno avuto nella fama accademica mondiale dei visual studies e della Bildwissenschaft. La terza parte è dedicata a un problema fondamentale della cultura visuale che è appunto il complesso rapporto tra immagine e testo. Vengono presentate le basi del concetto di iconologia letteraria di Mitchell e infine si propone un'interpretazione originale di due scrittori italiani, Niccolò Ammaniti e Alessandro Baricco, nella chiave iconologico-culturale.
