The relation between the visual and the verbal spheres has been
much contested in recent years, from laments about the
'logocentricism' of the academy to the heralding of the 'pictorial
turn' of the multimedia age. This lavishly illustrated book
recontextualises these debates through the historical lens of Greek
and Roman antiquity. Dr Squire shows how modern Western concepts of
'words' and 'pictures' derive from a post-Reformation tradition of
theology and aesthetics. Where modern critics assume a bipartite
separation between images and texts, classical antiquity toyed with
a more playful and engaged relation between the two. By using the
ancient world to rethink our own ideologies of the visual and the
verbal, this interdisciplinary book brings together classics and
art history, as well as a sustained reflection on their
historiography: the result is a new and explosive cultural history
of Western visual thinking.
