   Author : Mikael Pettersson; Staffan Carlshamre; Göran Rossholm; Robert Hopkins; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : depiction; photography; pictorial experience; perception; phenomenology; Theoretical Philosophy; teoretisk filosofi;

4. 2. What Literature Can Make Us See : Poetry, Intermediality, Mental Imagery

   Author : Emma Tornborg; Lars Elleström; Heidrun Führer; Valerie Robillard; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Intermediality; mental imagery; poetry; Comparative literature; Litteraturvetenskap;

   Abstract : In this thesis I investigate what kind of mental imagery ekphrastic and pictorial poetry can evoke, how time is represented in this kind of poetry, and how readers experience the temporality it represents. Ekphrasis (a verbal representation of a static, visual, iconic representation) and pictorialism (a phenomenon that occurs when the reality of the fictive world, either psychological or physical, in the text is represented as image) are intermedial concepts: in various ways and to various degrees, ekphrastic and pictorial texts refer to and represent static, visual, iconic media such as painting, photography and sculpture.

   Abstract : This study examines the interaction between portraits by the exponent of French colourist painting Nicolas de Largillierre (1656–1745) and elite spectatorship in the early eighteenth century as enactment of the idea of painting as an art of pleasing the eye. As developed in the theory of art of Roger de Piles (1635–1709), the idea of painting as an art of pleasing the eye coexisted with the classicist view, which in turn emphasised the potential of painting to communicate discursive meanings and hence to engage the mind.
