Abstract

This comparative, interdisciplinary study investigates the relationship between literature and the visual arts in France and Britain from 1750-1900. Through a close examination of the prose writings of Diderot, Baudelaire and Ruskin, read against the background of contemporary philosophy, aesthetics and theories of language, In the Mind's Eye proposes a new interpretation of the influence and rivalries underlying the development of art criticism as a genre during this period. The visual impulse - the desire to transcend the limitations of language and make the reader see - is located within the historical traditions of ekphrasis, enargeia and the paragone , while in each chapter, the individual author's theories of the mind, memory and imagination provide a critical framework for his stylistic experiments. In the Mind's Eye presents an in-depth analysis of the cultural, theoretical and aesthetic implications of artistic border crossings, and by contextualizing the movement toward visual/verbal hybridity in the fiction and criticism of Diderot, Baudelaire and Ruskin, brings new perspectives to nineteenth-century studies in art and literature.

Abstract

Die Studie versucht zwei von ihren methodologischen Voraussetzungen her unvereinbare Interessen - ein diskursanalytisches und ein hermeneutisches - produktiv zu verbinden. Sie untersucht Wechselwirkungen zwischen literarischen Sinnbildungsverfahren und dem Wahrnehmungsdiskurs, und zwar am Beispiel von Friedrich Schillers »Geisterseher«, Georg Büchners »Leonce und Lena«, Wilhelm Raabes »Chronik der Sperlingsgasse«, Stanislaw Przybyszewskis »Totenmesse«, Robert Musils »Verwirrungen des Zöglings Törleß« und Franz Kafkas »Proceß«. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, wie die Texte in Diskursfelder eingelassen sind, in physikalische und medientechnische (optische Medien, Aufzeichnungs- und Wiedergabeverfahren), medizinische (Starstechen, Sehfehlerkorrekturen), psychologische (Nachbilder, Leseprozesse, visuelle Aufmerksamkeitslenkung), philosophische und kunstgeschichtliche (Wahrnehmungskonzept der Aufklärung, romantisches "Sehen", Realismuskonzepte, visuelle "Wirklichkeit", Konstruktivismus), inwiefern sie von dieser Teilhabe am Wahrnehmungsdiskurs ästhetisch profitieren und inwiefern sie an der Konstitution und Transformation dieser Diskursfelder beteiligt sind. Den Abschluß der Arbeit bildet der Versuch einer Systematisierung der Formen wechselseitiger Durchdringung von Diskurs und Literatur.

Abstract

Focusing on the years from 1922 to 1938, this book revisits an important moment in black cultural history to explore how visual elements were used in poems, novels, and photography to undermine existing stereotypes. Miriam Thaggert identifies and analyzes an early form of black American modernism characterized by a heightened level of experimentation with visual and verbal techniques for narrating and representing blackness. The work of the writers and artists under discussion reflects the creative tension between the intangibility of some forms of black expression, such as spirituals, and the materiality of the body evoked by other representations of blackness, such as “Negro” dialect. By paying special attention to the contributions of photographers and other visual artists who have not been discussed in previous accounts of black modernism, Thaggert expands the scope of our understanding of the Harlem Renaissance and contributes to a growing recognition of the importance of visual culture as a distinct element within, and not separate from, black literary studies. Thaggert trains her critical eye on the work of James Weldon Johnson, Nella Larsen, George Schuyler, Carl Van Vechten, James Van Der Zee, and Aaron Siskind—artists who experimented with narrative and photographic techniques in order to alter the perception of black images and to question and reshape how one reads and sees the black body. Examining some of the more problematic authors and artists of black modernism, she challenges entrenched assumptions about black literary and visual representations of the early to mid twentieth century. Thaggert concludes her study with a close look at the ways in which Harlem and the Harlem Renaissance were reimagined and memorialized in two notable texts—Wallace Thurman’s 1932 satire Infants of the Spring and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s controversial 1969 exhibition “Harlem on My Mind: The Cultural Capital of Black America, 1900–1968.”
