{"product_id":"poetics-of-the-iconotext","title":"Poetics of the Iconotext","description":"\u003cp\u003ePoetics 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 littérature anglophone and Texte\/Image: Images à  lire, textes à  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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44556623249646,"sku":"9781409400318","price":244.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781409400318.jpg?v=1703551222","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/poetics-of-the-iconotext","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
