Abstract

Focusing, framing, scanning-the language of film-and Gombrich's studies in the psychology of perception are used by John Bender to isolate pictorial effects and devices in literature. The theory that he proposes, grounded in his analysis of Spenser, "the painter of poets," discriminates between the descriptive and the pictorial in poetry.Originally published in 1972.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

Spanning four decades of radical political and social change in Italy, this interdisciplinary study explores photography's relationship with Italian painting, film, literature, anthropological research and international photography. Evocative and powerful, Italian social documentary photography from the 1930s to the 1960s is a rich source of cultural history, reflecting a time of dramatic change. This book shows, through a wide range of images (some published for the first time) that to fully understand the photography of this period we must take a more expansive view than scholars have applied to date, considering issues of propaganda, aesthetics, religion, national identity and international influences. By setting Italian photography against a backdrop of social documentary and giving it a distinctive place in the global history of photography, this exciting volume of original research is of interest to art historians and scholars of Italian and visual culture studies.

Abstract

What, in apparently pictorial poetry, do words--can words--represent? Conversely, how can words in a poem be picturable? After decades of reading and thinking about the nature and function of literary representation, Murray Krieger here develops his most systematic theoretical statement out of answers to such questions. Ekphrasis is his account of the continuing debates over meaning in language from Plato to the present. Krieger sees the modernist position as the logical outcome of these debates but argues that more recent theories radically question the political and aesthetic assumptions of the modernists and the 2,000-year tradition they claim to culminate. Krieger focuses on ekphrasis--the literary representation of visual art, real or imaginary--a form at least as old as its most famous example, the shield of Achilles verbally invented in the Iliad. He argues that the "ekphrastic principle" has remained enduringly problematic in that it reflects the resistant paradoxes of representation in words. As he examines the conflict between spatial and temporal, between vision-centered and word-centered metaphors, Krieger reveals how literary theory has been shaped by the attempts and the deceptive failures of language to do the job of the "natural sign." "What is being described in ekphrasis is both a miracle and a mirage: a miracle because a sequence of actions filled with befores and afters such as language alone can trace seems frozen into an instant's vision, but a mirage because only the illusion of such an impossible picture can be suggested by the poem's words. . We may see it as the poem's miracle, and that seeing is our mirage. This peculiar--and paradoxical--jointly produced experience of ekphrasis allows it to function as the consummate example of the verbal art, the ultimate shield beyond shields."

Abstract

The enmeshment of the human body with various forms of technology is a phenomenon that characterizes lived and imagined experiences in Russian arts of the modernist and postmodernist eras. In contrast to the post-revolutionary fixation on mechanical engineering, industrial progress, and the body as a machine, the postmodern, postindustrial period probes the meaning of being human not only from a physical, bodily perspective, but also from the philosophical perspectives of subjectivity and consciousness. The Human Reimagined examines the ways in which literary and artistic representations of the body, selfhood, subjectivity, and consciousness illuminate late- and post-Soviet ideas about the changing relationships among the individual, the environment, technology, and society.Contributors include: Alex Anikina, Keti Chukhrov, Jacob Emery, Elana Gomel, Sofya Khagi, Katerina Lakhmitko, Colleen McQuillen, Jonathan Brooks Platt, Kristina Toland, Julia Vaingurt, Diana Kurkovsky West, Trevor Wilson

Abstract

Les trois rubriques introduites dans ce recueil tentent de refléter les divers champs d'investigation qui s'entrelacent. Sans doute l'interaction entre "les mots et la peinture" (il y a bien discours sur le tableau et/ou tableau dans le discours) donne lieu à un ensemble de communications très homogène tout en faisant appel à un corpus d'œuvres très large. La section "l'image-récit" touche, en fait, à plusieurs types de discours : le discours photographique y est certainement privilégié, puis apparaissent le discours filmique et enfin le discours figuratif de la bande dessinée. Il a paru important de regrouper dans la dernière partie ce que nous avons appelé "l'image-métaphore". Peinture et écriture, image et parole (que la peinture soit enrichissement du langage ou que le texte soit illusion féconde) posent le problème de la représentation de l'indicible ou de l'invisible et visent à transcender le réel. Tous ces textes s'interrogent en fin de compte sur la présentation de deux modes d'expression différents qui semblent impuissants séparément à rendre la perception du réel dans sa complétude et sa totalité mais dont le croisement permet d'atteindre le but impossible, la limite toujours repoussée qui, désormais, n'échappent plus au créateur.

Abstract

From the origins of modern copyright in early eighteenth-century culture to the efforts to represent nature and death in postmodern fiction, this pioneering book explores a series of problems regarding the containment of representation. Stewart focuses on specific cases of ""crimes of writing""--the forgeries of George Psalmanazar, the production of ""fakelore,"" the ""ballad scandals"" of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the imposture of Thomas Chatterton, and contemporary legislation regarding graffiti and pornography.

Abstract

Marianna Torgovnick maintains that it is worthwhile to think about novels in terms of the visual arts--in part because major novelists like James, Lawrence, and Woolf did so, and did so fruitfully, as they were influenced by their perceptions of artistic movements.Originally published in 1985.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Abstract

Aux limites de l’imitation pose une question audacieuse que les innombrables études existantes sur l’ ut pictura poesis à l’âge classique ont eu tendance à laisser dans l’ombre : celle de la matière comme limite de l’imitation, suivant l’hypothèse selon laquelle le surgissement du matériel est à l’origine du délitement de l’ ut pictura poesis au cours de l’âge classique. Les études réunies ici abordent cette question pour l’ensemble de l’âge classique (allant du XVIe à la fin du XVIIIe siècle) ainsi que pour les principaux domaines artistiques que l’on peut distinguer (littérature, peinture, sculpture, musique, danse).
