Afterlives of Romantic Intermediality
Beschreibung:
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.
Through its focus on artistic intermediality, Afterlives of Romantic Intermediality addresses the manifold, even global artistic developments that were initiated by European Romantics. The contributions herein demonstrate the intriguing aspects of modernity and postmodernity embodied in intermedial connections. Setting new standards for research on intermedial links extending from Romanticism up to the present day, this encompassing volume is valuable for all those with a profound interest in the development of the arts after Romanticism.
