The Pictorial Third: An Essay into Intermedial Criticism examines
the extent to which poetry intertwines with painting and the visual
at large, and studies the singular relationship established between
language and image, observesing the modalities and workings of what
is termed 'intermedial transposition'. By following a critical
method of the close analysis of texts, the book examines to what
extent the "pictorial" tool may be of help to analyze literary
texts and thus enlarge and enrich literary criticism. Examining the
technical notions typical of the medium and its history, including
perspective, framing, colour, anamorphosis, trompe-l'oeil, Veronica
veil, still life, portrait, figure, illusion, apparatus, genres and
styles, this volume presents a pragmatics of image-in-text and of
the visual-in-text as an operative tool. This "pictorial" reading
necessarily includes synesthesia and the senses; it also functions
as a reading event , or what happens to one when one unawares
encounters a picture (be it present in the book or the object of an
ekprhasis). Thus the body is eventually given back a role to play.
The sensitive approach has its own resonances and the eye or the
gaze sometimes sees double in such intermedially oriented texts.
This volume proposes to identify the pictorial third as the
phenomenon which can be apprehended in terms of effect or affect
not only as a concept.
