Mieke Bal has had a significant impact on every field she has
touched, from Old Testament scholarship and narratology to critical
methods and visual culture. This brilliant and controversial
intellectual invariably performs a high-wire act at the point where
critical issues and methods intersect--or collide. She is deeply
interested in the problems of cultural analysis across a range of
disciplines. "A Mieke Bal Reader "brings together for the first
time a representative collection of her work that distills her
broad interests and areas of expertise.
This "Reader "is organized into four parts, reflecting the fields
that Bal has most profoundly influenced: literary study,
interdisciplinary methodology, visual analysis, and postmodern
theology. The essays include some of Bal's most characteristic and
provocative work, capturing her at the top of her form. "Narration
and Focalization," for example, provides the groundwork for Bal's
ideas on narrative, while "Reading Art?" clearly outlines her
concept of reading images. "Religious Canon and Literary Identity"
reenvisions Bal's own work at the intersection of theology and
cultural analysis, while "Enfolding Feminism" argues for a new
feminist rallying cry that is not a position but a metaphor. More
than a dozen other essays round out the four sections, each of
which is interdisciplinary in its own right: the section devoted to
literature, for instance, ranges widely over psychoanalysis,
theology, photography, and even autobiography.
"A Mieke Bal Reader" is the product of a capacious intellect and a
sustained commitment to critical thinking. It will prove to be
instructive, maddening, and groundbreaking--in short, all the
hallmarks ofintellectual inquiry at its best.
