Vision and TextualityAuthor :
Paperback
Published : Monday 17 July 1995
Description
The influence of contemporary literary theory on art history is increasingly evident, but there is little or no agreement about the nature and consequence of this new intersection of the visual and the textual. Vision and Textuality brings together essays by many of the most influential scholars in the fieldâ?"both young and more established writers from the United States, England, and Franceâ?"to address the emergent terms and practices of contemporary art history. With essays by Rosalind Krauss, Hal Foster, Norman Bryson, Victor Burgin, Martin Jay, Louis Marin, Thomas Crow, Griselda Pollock, and others, the volume is organized into sections devoted to the discipline of art history, the implications of semiotics, the new cultural history of art, and the impact of psychoanalysis. The works discussed in these essays range from Rembrandtâ?Ts Danae to Jorge Immendorfâ?Ts CafAc Deutschland, from Vauxhall Gardens to Max Ernst, and from the Imagines of Philostratus to William Godwinâ?Ts novel Caleb Williams. Each section is preceded by a short introduction that offers further contexts for considering the essays that follow, while the editorsâ?T general introduction presents an overall exploration of the relation between vision and textuality in a variety of both institutional and theoretical contexts. Among other issues, it examines the relevance of aesthetics, the current concern with modernism and postmodernism, and the possible development of new disciplinary formations in the humanities.Contributors.
