The influential cultural critic Elisabeth Bronfen sets out in this
book a conversation between literature, cinema, and visual culture.
The crossmappings in and between these essays address the cultural
survival of image formulas involving portraiture and the uncanny
relation between the body and its representability, the gendering
of war, death and the fragility of life, as well as sovereignty and
political power. Each chapter tracks transformations that occur as
aesthetic figurations travel not only from one historical moment to
the next, but also from one medium to another. Following Bronfen on
these journeys into the cultural imaginary, the reader encounters
prominent artists such as Edgar Degas, Francesca Woodman, Paul
McCarthy, Eva Hesse, Louise Bourgeois, Richard Wagner, Pablo
Picasso and William Shakespeare, alongside Classical Hollywood's
film noir and melodrama, and the TV series The Wire and House of
Cards.
