Examining a wide range of ekphrastic poems, Kennedy argues that contemporary British poets writing out of both mainstream and avant-garde traditions challenge established critical models of ekphrasis with work that is more complex than representational or counter-representational responses to paintings in museums and galleries.

The process of shaping cultural identity in viceregal Spanish America has occurred as much through the medium of pictures as through the medium of writing. Focused on writing that references visual texts (ekphrasis), Visions of Empire in Colonial Spanish American Ekphrastic Writing examined the way words about pictures in the writing of three Spanish American Creoles negotiate the challenges that confronted the ruling elite in Spanish America during the contentious period between the Conquest and Independence.

This is a study of ekphrasis, the art of making listeners and readers 'see' in their imagination through words alone, as taught in ancient rhetorical schools and as used by Greek writers of the Imperial period (2nd-6th centuries CE). The author places the practice of ekphrasis within its cultural context, emphasising the importance of the visual imagination in ancient responses to rhetoric, poetry and historiography. By linking the theoretical writings on ekphrasis with ancient theories of imagination and emotion and language, she brings out the persuasive and emotive function of vivid languag

This handbook offers students and researchers compact orientation in their study of intermedial phenomena in Anglophone literary texts and cultures by introducing them to current academic debates, theoretical concepts and methodologies. By combining theory with text analysis and contextual anchoring, it introduces students and scholars alike to a vast field of research which encompasses concepts such as intermediality, multi- and plurimediality, intermedial reference, transmediality, ekphrasis, as well as related concepts such as visual culture, remediation, adaptation, and multimodality, which are all discussed in connection with literary examples. Hence each of the 30 contributions spans both a theoretical approach and concrete analysis of literary texts from different centuries and different Anglophone cultures.

The first book-length treatment of artistic ecphrasis at Rome, 'The Captor's Image' resituates a major literary trope deep within its hybrid cultural context, and argues for ecphrasis as a cultural practice through which the Romans sought, over some four hundred years of their history, to redefine Romanness both with and against Greekness.

Der deutsch-italienische Band präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer interdisziplinären Tagung in der Villa Vigoni, die sich mit der Konstituierung neuer Diskursformen zur Wahrnehmung und Bewertung der bildenden Kunst im Verlauf des 18. Jahrhunderts befasst hatte. Vor dem Hintergrund einer kulturpolitisch spannungsreichen Antikenrezeption werden, ausgehend von Winckelmanns Umdeutung der Ekphrase zu einem Medium ästhetischer Selbstanalyse, Versprachlichungsprozesse der Kunstbetrachtung untersucht, die sich an dem bis weit ins 19. Jahrhundert gültigen Konstrukt einer zeitlosen griechischen Klassik orientieren. Deren mythologischer, nunmehr unter anthropologischen und ästhetischen Gesichtspunkten neu definierter Kontext gewinnt in der Literatur der Kunstperiode eine Eigendynamik, die sich in großen kulturgeschichtlichen Erzählungen, exemplarischen Novellen wie in sozialutopischen Entwürfen manifestiert. Aus der Deskription und Reflexion von Kunsterfahrung entwickeln sich narrative Formen, in denen das archaische Kunstwerk als Leitbild einer künftigen, weltbürgerlich vereinten Menschheit hervortritt und sich zugleich in seinem für die Moderne charakteristischen autonomen Status des Kunstwerks profiliert.
