Abstract:

The Pictorial Art of El Greco: Transmaterialities, Temporalities, and Media investigates El Greco’s pictorial art as foundational to the globalising trends manifested in the visual culture of early modernity. It also exposes the figurative, semantic, and allegorical senses that El Greco created to challenge an Italian Renaissance-centered discourse. Even though he was guided by the unprecedented burgeoning of devotional art in the post-Tridentine decades and by the expressive possibilities of earlier religious artifacts, especially those inherited from the apostolic past, the author demonstrat

Abstract:

Chapter 4 combines the archaeological and art historical evidence for the Baths’ decorative program with the methodologies of urban anthropology and cognitive space theory to reconstruct the Baths of Caracalla as both a conceptual and physical space. This theoretical frame illuminates the phenomenological experience of the Baths’ spaces and their reception by the Roman public by investigating certain decorative devices and display formats that were central to the visual experience of the Baths. The chapter demonstrates how the dynamic possibilities of the decorative program could reiterate and

Abstract:

Changing ideas on the nature of and relationship between the senses in nineteenth-century Europe constructed blindness as a disability in often complex ways. The loss or absence of sight was disabling in this period, given vision’s celebrated status, and visually impaired people faced particular social and educational challenges as well as cultural stereotyping as poor, pitiable and intellectually impaired. However, the experience of blind people also came to challenge received ideas that the visual was the privileged mode of accessing information about the world, and contributed to an increas

Abstract:

In this book, Hertha D. Sweet Wong examines the intersection of writing and visual art in the autobiographical work of twentieth- and twenty-first-century American writers and artists who employ a mix of written and visual forms of self-narration. Combining approaches from autobiography studies and visual studies, Wong argues that, in grappling with the breakdown of stable definitions of identity and unmediated representation, these writers-artists experiment with hybrid autobiography in image and text to break free of inherited visual-verbal regimes and revise painful histories.

Abstract:

The rich and expanding rhetorical universe of the English Renaissance annexed the expressive possibilities of painting and the plastic arts using a variety of figures and tropes. These—ekphrasis (intense description), blason (anatomizing description), paragone (the contest between the arts), and emblems and imprese (formal verbal-visual symbols)—allowed English writers to press the visual into the service of the verbal, creating powerful rhetorical tools and distinctive literary expression. This article describes the development of these verbal-visual tools from the late medieval period throug

Abstract:

The visual completion is the result of the integration of fragmented contours. The contrast polarity (or contrast sign) may affect this interpolation by strengthening the completion in a direction where the contrast polarity is preserved. This chapter illustrates some manifestations of these phenomena: the alteration of the alignment of the visual units and the illusory tilt of more complex visual organization. The occurrence of basic distorting effects underlying classic illusions—such as the Frazer illusion—is discussed. It is noted that the role of the contrast polarity rule in representing

Abstract:

This article focuses on interactions and relationships that start on the Internet. Relationships that begin online pose unique challenges: false identities are easy to create and difficult to verify. Visual and non-verbal cues are typically absent, despite the technical possibilities for video and audio transmissions. Because individuals communicating online are likely to be geographically distant from one another, it is often impossible to rely on mutual acquaintances to vouch for the trustworthiness of a person.

Abstract:

Jürgen Trabant argues that Lessing’s distinction between poetry and painting can stand for a wider controversy about the respective status (and developmental history) of words and images. The chapter looks at Lessing’s comparison with an eye to the historical anthropology of language, arguing that word and image share substantial common ground as embodiments of human thought. In particular, Trabant explores Lessing’s Grenzen in relation to the concept of articulation—not only of sounds, but also of cognitive distinctions. He concludes that the specific structure of phonetic articulation allows

The anniversary years of the composer Gustav Mahler (150 years of his birth in 2010, 100 years of his death in 2011) took place in the age of digital media, whose technological possibilities afforded strikingly diverse opportunities to mark the occasion. Various experimental sound and video artists, produced audiovisual translations and interpretations of the composer’s music at this time, including Danish composer Henrik Marstal with VJ Dark Matters, and Austrian experimental composer Fennesz with Berlin-based video artist Lillevan.

Abstract:

The prelude stresses the emotional, moral, and social value in our being able to hear the world, and the sounds we make within it, better. Michael Haneke’s films are designed to make us reach a greater level of sonic alertness, and they represent a radical expansion of cinema as much more than a “visual medium.” By prompting us to hear everything more consciously, Haneke’s films offer us transformative experiences of lasting impact. The director also consistently foregrounds extreme and devastating scenes of preventable human violence. So, while all of his sound tracks represent new medium-spe

This chapter examines the characters and themes of the shooting scripts rather than of the three films themselves. It considers whether or not the screenwriters had written for Hitchcock in ways that suited his own particular visual style. These scripts represent the fullest extent of the collaborative process that began when the writer first sat with the director in his office to discuss the possibilities for narrative and character development inherent in the source material; they also highlight the particular verbal talents of the writers, talents that Hitchcock himself did not possess; and

This chapter discusses advances in visualization for environmental criminology. The environment within which people move has many dimensions that influence or constrain decisions and actions by individuals and by groups. This complexity creates a challenge for theoreticians and researchers in presenting their research results in a way that conveys the dynamic spatiotemporal aspects of crime and actions by offenders in a clearly understandable way. There is an increasing need in environmental criminology to use scientific visualization to convey research results. A visual image can describe und

Abstract:

This chapter examines the 1912 feature film Queen Elizabeth as a reflection of Sarah Bernhardt's roles in the late nineteenth century and her insistence that these could remain relevant to audiences in the twentieth century. In histories of the cinema, Queen Elizabeth is a film consistently referred to as an example of “filmed theater.” The chapter considers the cinematic practices that Queen Elizabeth reveals and how the film draws upon the long and rich history of Queen Elizabeth's appearance in the theater, the visual arts, and the popular presses.

But while the importance of space has been realized recently, motion has had little attention, for all its prominence in literature, and its interest to ancient philosophy. Motion is bound up with decisions, emotions, character; its specific features are expressive. The book starts with motion in visual art: this leads to the characteristics of literary depiction. Literary works discussed are: Homer’s Iliad; Ovid’s Metamorphoses; Tacitus’ Annals; Sophocles’ Philoctetes and Oedipus at Colonus; Parmenides’ On Nature; S

Abstract:

By reading written and visual artefacts of Gertrude Stein’s life, Gertrude Stein’s Transmasculinity reframes earlier scholarship to argue that her gender was transmasculine and that her masculinity was positive rather than a self-hating form of false consciousness. This book considers ways Stein’s masculinity was formed through her relationship with her feminine partner, Alice B. Toklas, and her masculine homosocial bonds with other modernists in her network. This broadens out Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s account of “male homosocial bonding” to include all masculine persons, opening up the possibil

This chapter presents an analysis that emphasizes the interpretive possibilities of contestory or ambivalent readings of multiracial narratives. As argued in Chapter 1, only a portion of the moviegoing audience can read Keanu Reeves as a multiracial Asian. Rather than recapitulate viewing habits that render multiraciality irrelevant, using a multiracial perspective to understand The Matrix film series enables a far richer and more rewarding film experience. Understanding Reeves's character Neo as multiracial makes visible the interrelated representations of multiraciality, future utopias, and

Beginning with the late 1980s, Tarkovsky’s highly complex cinema has continuously attracted scholarly attention by generating countless hermeneutic challenges and possibilities for film critics.

The material dimensions are explored through a study of the symbolic and ritual objects that convey Jewishness and a consideration of other items that may be used to express Jewish identity in the home. The discussion is geographically and ethnically wide-ranging, and the transformation of meaning attached to different objects in different environments is contextualized. For diasporic Jewish culture, the question of feeling at home is an emotional i
