Abstract

Why do painters sometimes wish they were poets--and why do poets sometimes wish they were painters? What happens when Rembrandt spells out Hebrew in the sky or Poussin spells out Latin on a tombstone? What happens when Virgil, Ovid, or Shakespeare suspend their plots to describe a fictitious painting? In Mute Poetry, Speaking Pictures, Leonard Barkan explores such questions as he examines the deliciously ambiguous history of the relationship between words and pictures, focusing on the period from antiquity to the Renaissance but offering insights that also have much to say about modern art and literature. The idea that a poem is like a picture has been a commonplace since at least ancient Greece, and writers and artists have frequently discussed poetry by discussing painting, and vice versa, but their efforts raise more questions than they answer. From Plutarch ("painting is mute poetry, poetry a speaking picture") to Horace ("as a picture, so a poem"), apparent clarity quickly leads to confusion about, for example, what qualities of pictures are being urged upon poets or how pictorial properties can be converted into poetical ones. The history of comparing and contrasting painting and poetry turns out to be partly a story of attempts to promote one medium at the expense of the other. At the same time, analogies between word and image have enabled writers and painters to think about and practice their craft. Ultimately, Barkan argues, this dialogue is an expression of desire: the painter longs for the rich signification of language while the poet yearns for the direct sensuousness of painting.

Abstract

On dit depuis longtemps que l'image visuelle est un langage. Mais ne s'agit-il là que d'un slogan ? Ce langage a-t-il des mots ? A-t-il une syntaxe ? S'écrit-il ? Se subdivise-t-il en langues ? Permet-il ce jeu sur les formes et le sens qu'on appelle rhétorique ? C'est ce qu'on ne savait guère jusqu'ici. Ce "Traité du signe visuel" est la première tentative pour décrire la grammaire générale de ce langage. Loin de n'être qu'une épure théorique, le propos est illustré par des exemples empruntés à toutes les cultures du monde, du passé comme du présent : l'idée qui veut que le langage visuel soit universel est ainsi éprouvée. Cette somme est signée par le groupe µ. Il y a exactement vingt ans, ce groupe testait déjà avec succès l'hypothèse d'une "Rhétorique générale" applicable à tous les langages, dans un classique des sciences humaines, plusieurs fois réédité et traduit en une douzaine de langues. Une équipe interdisciplinaire était sans doute nécessaire pour surmonter le provincialisme méthodologique qui séparait jusqu'à présent les sémioticiens et les psychologues, les spécialistes de la physiologie et de la communication de masse, les artistes et le grand public.

Abstract

A companion to Mary Carruthers' earlier study of memory in medieval culture, The Book of Memory, her new book, The Craft of Thought, examines medieval monastic meditation as a discipline for making thoughts, and discusses its influence on literature, art, and architecture. In a process akin to today's 'creative' thinking, or 'cognition', this discipline recognises the essential roles of imagination and emotion in meditation. Deriving examples from a variety of late antique and medieval sources, with excursions into modern architectural memorials, this study emphasises meditation as an act of literary composition or invention, the techniques of which notably involved both words and making mental 'pictures' for thinking and composing.
