Cultural Functions of Intermedial ExplorationErik Hedling, Ulla-Britta Lagerroth Rodopi, 2002 - 302 sider This collection of 19 essays is the first one devoted to function-oriented analyses of intermedial interrelationships in literature, art, music, and film. The contributors -- among others, Werner Wolf, James Heffernan, Walter Bernhart, Siglind Bruhn, Claus Clüver, Valerie Robillard, and Tamar Yacobi -- are leading international scholars in the field of intermediality. The common basis of the essays in this volume -- ranging from intermedial studies of medieval liturgical practices, early cinema, modernist art, ekphrasis, music and literature, art and literature, film and literature, hymns, and pop music, to the musical and technological aspects of Concrete poetry -- is the ambition to pay attention to the cultural contexts that enhance the significance of these intermedial works and trends under examination. Since the contributions cover different types of intermedial endeavours from various periods and times, a kind of historicizing perspective is outlined. So, in pursuit of a still lacking coherent historical survey of cultural functions of intermediality, this volume might be recognized as a step towards such a Funktionsgeschichte for intermedial exploration. |

Side 64 - A picture held us captive. And we could not get outside it, for it lay in our language and language seemed to repeat it to us inexorably.
Side 38 - DISCOURSE was deemed man's noblest attribute, And written words the glory of his hand ; Then followed printing with enlarged command For thought, dominion vast and absolute For spreading truth, and making love expand. Now prose and verse sunk into disrepute Must lacquey a dumb art that best can suit The taste of this once-intellectual land. A backward movement surely have we here, From manhood, back to childhood ; for the age — Back towards caverned life's first rude career. Avaunt this vile abuse...
Side 45 - Descartes: [T]he picture which holds traditional philosophy captive is that of the mind as a great mirror, containing various representations, some accurate, some not—and capable of being studied by pure, nonempirical methods. Without the notion of the mind as mirror, the notion of knowledge as accuracy of representation would not have suggested itself.
Side 59 - ... thighs caressed By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill, He holds her helpless breast upon his breast. How can those terrified vague fingers push The feathered glory from her loosening thighs? And how can body, laid in that white rush, But feel the strange heart beating where it lies? A shudder in the loins engenders there The broken wall, the burning roof and tower And Agamemnon dead.
Side 38 - Now prose and verse sunk into disrepute Must lacquey a dumb Art that best can suit The taste of this once-intellectual Land. A backward movement surely have we here, From manhood, — back to childhood ; for the age — Back towards caverned life's first rude career. Avaunt this vile abuse of pictured page ! Must eyes be all in all, the tongue and ear Nothing ? Heaven keep us from a lower stage ! 1846.
Side 80 - I decided that the ancient Greeks and Romans (who, according to the opinion of many, sang their tragedies throughout on the stage) used a harmony which, going beyond that of ordinary speech, fell so short of the melody of song that it assumed an intermediate form . . . Therefore, rejecting every other type of...
Side 72 - Of old, God the incorporeal and uncircumscribed was never depicted. Now, however, when God is seen clothed in flesh, and conversing with men, I make an image of the God whom I see. I do not worship matter, I worship the God of matter, who became matter for my sake, and deigned to inhabit matter, who worked out my salvation through matter.
Side 24 - Me velly velly thirsty." Lady Edward napped her ostrich at him. Meanwhile the music played on — Bach's Suite in B minor, for flute and strings. Young Tolley conducted with his usual inimitable grace, bending in swan-like undulations from the loins and tracing luscious arabesques on the air with his waving arms, as though he were dancing to the music. A dozen anonymous fiddlers and cellists scraped at his bidding. And the great Pongileoni glueily kissed his flute. He blew across the mouth hole and...
