Resumen de Ekphrasis revisited: crossing artistic boundaries

Carmen Lara Rallo

  • In a context marked by the preeminence of relationality in contemporary literature and criticism, the concept of ekphrasis is undergoing a process of revision that points to the broadening scope of the interartistic dialogue, and to the prevalence of a semiotic turn in the aesthetic and critical appraisal of the ans and their intersections. Nowadays. writers and critics alike are paying special attention to the interdisciplinary potential of literary creativity and theory, going beyond seemingly well-established assumptions such as the notion of the 'two cultures". or the narrow view of intertextuality as a practice restricted to the purely textual medium.

    The growing appeal of this cross-boundary perspective is clearly reflected in the changing reformulations of the classical strategy of ekphrasis, which becomes the focus of the present study. This essay addresses contemporary revisions of ekphrasis in a context in which the interaction between verbal and visual appears as a major domain for the development of interart relations. In the light of this, the essay will first explore critical interest in the confluence between word and image, in the "ut pictura poesis" tradition, and then focus on recent approaches to the ekphrastic strategy that challenge the limits traditionally imposed on the arts.
