'[I]t wasn’t in the picture and is not': Blind Spots and Vanishing Points in Irish Poetical Self-Portraits
2016
International audience; Pictoriality and a propensity for self-examination and self-representation are characteristic of the poetry of Louis MacNeice, Derek Mahon, Seamus Heaney and Paul Muldoon. In many a poem, these four contemporary Irish poets try to capture their own portraits in words and images, through highly visual poems often inspired by paintings. This paper first examines how these poets use images and invest paintings, how verbal and iconic texts interact in their creations and to what extent self-exegesis is made possible and more successful through ekphrasis. With reference to Jacques Derrida’s essay on self-portraiture—Memoirs of the Blind: Self-Portraits and Other Ruins—thi…

Ekfrasen som begivenhet
2021
Sammendrag Ekfrasebegrepet har vært gjenstand for mye diskusjon de siste tiårene. Denne artikkelen viser hvordan det har blitt lansert flere forslag til hvordan man kan legge bak seg en snever forståelse av møtet mellom tekst og bilde som en form for representasjon. Samtidig vises det hvordan løsningsforslagene virker sterkt fragmenterende og at de baserer seg på avgrensete perioder. I denne artikkelen lanseres begrepet «ekfrastisk begivenhet» som en alternativ formulering for å fange en bredere, kontekstuell forståelse av fenomenet. Samtidig innføres også begrepet «begivenhetshorisont» for å artikulere hvordan viktige institusjonelle og romlige premisser for ekfrasen har endret seg gjennom…
"…a počínal tušit, že s obrazy to tady nebude jednoduché." Ekfrastyczność (w) powieści "Cesta do pekel" Václava Vokolka
2019
The article analyses the novel Cesta do pekel written by Václav Vokolek – the Czech prose writer, poet and painter – through the usage of the intersemiotic translation strategies. The plot of the text can be characterized as the contamination of the physically plausible historic world (the construction of the railway in the middle of the 19th century) with the implausible one (the infernal story) according to Lubomír Doležel’s typology. Demonstrating the changes in the arts (the clash of romanticism with realism), the novelist sensitizes the reader to the drastic introversion into nature, as exemplifi ed by the urbanization processes in the north of the Czech Republic. At the same time, the…
Om å bære dødens tyngde – Fotografier og visuelle fortellestrategier i Gaute Heivolls roman Himmelarkivet
2012
Author's version of an article in the journal: Edda. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/edda/2012/02/om_aa_baere_doedens_tyngde_-_fotografier_og_visuelle_fortelles Himmelarkivet (2008) by Gaute Heivoll is part of an international trend of fiction concerned with traumatic events from World War II reflecting on the question of how these events should be described and understood. One main narrative device in the work is the use of image-related elements, and the goal of this article is to interpret their significance and effect. On the one hand, the argument is that they work as documents confirming the authenticity of the narrative and, on the other, that these visua…
Ekphrasis inversa. Un approccio alla narrativita' in architettura.
2011
L’ekphrasis, la descrizione, commento o interpretazione intensiva di un’opera d’arte, e' un mezzo, fatto in modo suo proprio, per tentare una ulteriore produzione dell’arte, soprattutto attraverso la parola. La letteratura artistica, quando il suo autore a sua volta possiede le capacita' di un artista, e' il luogo eminente di tale produzione, e cio' vale naturalmente anche per l’interpretazione dell’architettura. E' possibile – o si puo' tentare – pero', un’ekphrasis inversa della narrazione attraverso l’architettura. Tra gli esperimenti più recenti condotti in tale direzione e' interessante il caso dei Tre racconti di architettura, pubblicati da Vittorio De Feo nel 1997, nei quali si specc…

La iconografía en la era digital: hacia una heurística para el estudio del contenido de las imágenes medievales
2014
Este artículo invita a reflexionar sobre la validez de la iconografía como método para describir los temas representados en las obras artísticas medievales. En esta ocasión, se ha puesto un mayor énfasis en investigar sus implicaciones epistemológicas y los sesgos que resultan del proceso de transformar las imágenes en palabras. El objetivo principal es tratar de que aflore la llamada 'brecha semántica', una especie de barrera que impide representar verbalmente un medio no léxico, como es el visual, de manera satisfactoria y sin mermas. Tras un sucinto recorrido por el pensamiento griego, con un especial interés por la écfrasis, se sugiere que el aparente equilibrio entre las capacidades se…
