FIctional Artworks. Literary Ékphrasis and the Invention of Images
2016
The volume is devoted to images in painting, photography and cinema invented by literature.

Descrizione e desiderio. I quadri viventi di ETA Hoffmann
2005
Descrizione e desiderio sono i due poli entro cui s’inscrive l’esperienza che E. T. A. Hoffmann, uno dei massimi scrittori del fantastico ottocentesco, fa della pittura antica e moderna. Raffaello e Salvator Rosa, Bosch e Van Dyck, la pittura di paesaggio fiamminga e la pittura sacra italiana costituiscono il canone implicito della sua narrativa. Attraverso un’analisi delle modalità di descrizione dei quadri nelle principali opere narrative di Hoffmann e la ricostruzione delle loro fonti visive, questo saggio ci restituisce una galleria immaginaria di figure che possono essere considerate protagoniste viventi dell’immaginario moderno e che hanno condizionato tutta la narrativa fantastica de…
Il Cabinet d'amateur di Georges Perec

This is why I assume this work to be referable to the genre of structural homology more …

Pazienza in His Limits: Living Experience and Iconotextual Practice
2016
The analysis of the relationship between verbal and visual textualities can find a favored object of study in the comics: an “iconotextual” device characterized by features comparable to other traditional artistic works – in order to limit ourselves to the “narration by images” mechanically copied we can think about the “moral series” by William Hogarth –, it shows, in the comparison between its figurative elaboration and at least a meaningful part of its verbal solutions, some differential specificities: beyond the inscription of the words in the balloon – with voices and thoughts of the represented subjects – the writing often attends the images with an evident descriptive intention – irr…
