This article analyses some of the main lines of research in German image science (Bildwissenschaft) in the context of the transformations of digital culture and their impact on the contemporary status of the image. After a comparison between the approaches of Anglo-Saxon visual studies and Bildwissenschaft to visual culture and image, the approaches of three of the most prominent theorists in this field of study - Gottfried Boehm, Horst Bredekamp and Hans Belting - are summarized. Finally, the scope of the theoretical developments of these thinkers for dealing with digital visual culture is assessed, by addressing the questions of the concept of image, iconic agency, and media.

Keywords : Bildwissenschaft; digital culture; image; iconic agency; media.
