Discussion points

Territories of Image/Text 1: Historical and Theoretical Coordinates

1. We will review the long and contested history of word/image relations. Reference will be made to Plato, the Ut Pictura Poesis tradition, Lessing, Kant, and others.

Question: To what extent – and how, specifically – are these philosophical legacies still relevant to our work today when we engage in "artwriting"?
2. What connections are there between controversies about Word and Image and the notion of "artwriting"? This discussion will serve as an introduction to the second class.
3. Throughout the course segment, we will be asking if, and in what ways, the visual and textual are different, comparable, or incommensurate.
