{"product_id":"9781552382592","title":"Words and Images: A French Rendez-vous","description":"Words and images interact with each other in art and everyday life and do so in many different ways. Building on recent trends in linguistic analysis and visual semiotics, a vibrant interdisciplinary field of inquiry called \"word-and-image studies\" has developed over the past few decades. Much of this new scholarship, however, has originated in the French-speaking world and thus has not been available in English - until now.\u003cp\u003eWords and Images: A French Rendez-vous features six new essays translated from the French by Anthony Wall. These explorations spin an adventurous web through time - from the very beginnings of human language on prehistoric cave walls, to the textual background of early modern and Enlightenment art, to the coexistence of a poem and a coloured drawing on an exterior wall in contemporary Paris - and through interdisciplinary space, from archaeology and anthropology to art history, literary and communications theory, and philosophy of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume concludes with a bibliographical essay that provides an extensive summary of the most recent critical studies undertaken in France, Belgium, and Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Contributions By:\u003cbr\u003eBruno Nassim Aboudrar\u003cbr\u003ePierre Civil\u003cbr\u003eBeatrice Fraenkel\u003cbr\u003eStephane Lojkine\u003cbr\u003eMarie-Dominique Popelard\u003cbr\u003eAnthony Wall\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Calgary Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050148282608,"sku":"9781552382592","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781552382592_p0.jpg?v=1772499846","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781552382592","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
