What is Mixed Messages : American Correspondences in Visual and Verbal Practices about?

Offering a major contribution to the field of American culture and aesthetics in an interdisciplinary frame, this collection assembles the cutting-edge research of renowned and emerging scholars in literature and the visual arts, with a foreword by Miles Orvell. The volume represents the first of its kind: an intervention in current interdisciplinary approaches to the intersections of the written word and the visual image that moves beyond standard theoretical approaches to consider the written and visual artwork in embodied, cognitive and experiential terms. Tracing a strong lineage of pragmatism, romanticism, surrealism and dada in American intermedial works through the nineteenth century to the present day, the editors and authors of this volume chart a new and vital methodology for the study and appreciation of the correspondences between visual and verbal practices. ** Review "Mixed Messages offers a set of case studies which reappraise old American masters (the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, and William Carlos Williams) to provoke new, enterprising understandings of artworks that press into service textual and visual features." - Matthew Holman, Oxford Art Journa
