INSTITUTE OF ROMANCE STUDIES (Senate House, Malet Street) LONDON
Friday, 23rd and Saturday 24th September 2005
The colloquium will reexamine the "ut pictura poesis" theory and refine the
relation between word and image. Their inter-relationship in certain
intersemiotic works of art helps put the finger on certain fundamental
characteristics of representation itself, and possibly ideological issues
(the politics of race, gender, class, hegemony) and the inscription of
cultural values and itnerests.
Lessing's notion of the temporal/spatial distinction will be rethought as
well as the way the iconotext seems to disrupt common views of the
ontological status of the work of art such as the distinction between the
allographic and the autographic . We will address the phenomena of
transaction, or trans-lation between painting and literature, between
language and the image at large as the analyses will also include all types
of images mediated by language (photographs, tapestries, mirrors, maps,
optical instruments etc.).

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. Groucho Marx (1890 - 1977) Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach.
