Afterlives of Romantic Intermediality (eBook, PDF)

The Intersection of Visual, Aural, and Verbal Frontiers
Redaktion: Eilittä, Leena; Riccio-Berry, Catherine

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Afterlives of Romantic Intermediality addresses the manifold, even global artistic developments that were initiated by European Romantics. In the first section, the contributors show how the rising perspective of intermediality was discussed in philosophical terms and adapted itself to Romantic literature and music. In the second section, the contributors show how post-Romantic writers, visual artists, and composers have engaged with Romantic heritage. By exploring primary works that range from European arts to Latin American literature, these essays focus on the interdisciplinary developments that have emerged in literature, music, painting, film, architecture, and video art. Overall, the contributions in this volume demonstrate that intermedial connections-or sometimes the conscious lack of such connections-embody intriguing aspects of modernity and postmodernity.
