Poetics of the Iconotext makes available for the first time in
English the theories of the respected French text/image specialist,
Professor Liliane Louvel. A consolidation of the most significant
theoretical materials of Louvel's two acclaimed books, L'Oeil du
Texte: Texte et image dans la litterature anglophone and
Texte/Image: Images A lire, textes A voir, this newly conceived
work introduces English readers to the most current thinking in
French text/image theory and visual studies. Focusing on the full
spectrum of text/image relations, from medieval illuminated
manuscripts to digital books, Louvel begins by introducing key
terms and situating her work in the context of significant debates
in text/image studies. Part II introduces Louvel's s typology of
pictorial saturation through which she establishes a continuum
along which to measure the effect of the most figurative to the
most literal images upon writerly and readerly textual 'spaces.'
Part III adopts a phenomenological approach towards the
reading-viewing experience as expressed in conceptual categories
that include the trace, focal range, synesthesia, and rhythm and
speed. The result is a provocative interplay of the categorical and
the subjective that invites readers to think at once more precisely
and more inventively about texts, images, and the intersections
between the two.

Jacobs and Miller present a handy guide to selecting and loading a
child's backpack, and they also discuss how the backpack should be
worn.
The Pacific 'grass skirt' has provoked debates about the demeaning
and sexualised depiction of Pacific bodies. While these
stereotypical portrayals associated with 'nakedness' are challenged
in this book, the complex uses and meanings of the garments
themselves are examined, including their link to other body
adornments and modifications. In nineteenth-century Fiji, beautiful
fibre skirts (liku) in a great variety of shapes and colours were
lifetime companions for women. First fitted around puberty when she
received her veiqia (tattooing), women's successive liku were
adapted at marriage and during maternity, performing a multiplicity
of social functions. This book is based on a systematic
investigation of previously understudied liku in museums
collections around the world. Through the prism of one garment,
multiple ways of looking at dress are considered, including their
classification in museums and archives. Also highlighted are
associated tattooing (veiqia) practices, perceptions of modesty,
the intricacies of intercultural encounters and the significance of
collections and cultural heritage today. The book is intended for
those interested in often neglected women's objects and practices
in the Pacific, in dress and adornment more generally and in the
use of museum collections and archives. It is richly illustrated
with rare and previously unpublished paintings and drawings, as
well many examples of liku themselves.
