This book offers a comprehensive reassessment of ekphrasis: the
verbal representation of visual art. Ekphrasis has been
traditionally regarded as a form of paragone (competition) between
word and image. This interdisciplinary collection of essays seeks
to complicate this critical paradigm and proposes a more reciprocal
model of ekphrasis that involves an encounter or exchange between
visual and textual cultures. This critical and theoretical shift
demands a new form of ekphrastic poetics, which is less concerned
with representational and institutional struggles, and more
concerned with ideas of ethics, affect and intersubjectivity.
Ekphrastic encounters brings together leading scholars working in
the field of word-and-image studies and offers a fresh exploration
of ekphrastic texts from the Renaissance to the present day. Taken
together, the chapters establish a new set of theoretical
frameworks for exploring the ekphrastic encounter. -- .
