Summary/Abstract: Image studies is not about explaining or printpointing the hypotetical „character” or „temperament” or any race or nation. The imagologist studies statements and texts, and keeps aloof from making, or entering into an argument with realworld truth claims for these (e.g. climatological or biological determination) are usually essentialist reitifications.
