1. Ekphrasis: Theory

Abstract: As a literary genre, ekphrasis ranges from ancient rhetorical exercises in description through art criticism to poetry and fiction. Furthermore, since digital technology and cinema have animated visual art itself, the verbal representation of visual representation has become more fluid than ever before. While traditional ekphrasis generates a narrative from a work of art that is still in both senses, silent and motionless, cinematic ekphrasis exploits the metamorphic power of film to conjure a dream world that… Show more

“…O próprio Heffernan (2015) parece reconhecer a necessidade de incorporar outras formas de arte ao conceito, quando, em seu ensaio em Handbook of Intermediality, passa a considerar o cinema no escopo dos objetos possíveis de se atrelar ao universo da écfrase. Como assevera o estudioso, "a écfrase cinematográfica [...] desafia radicalmente a noção de que a écfrase lida apenas com imagens que, em todos os sentidos, são silenciosas e imóveis 2 " (HEFFERNAN, 2015, p. 49, tradução nossa).…”

“…Assim sendo, em certa passagem, argumenta o estudioso: "[...] como a tecnologia digital e o cinema dinamizaram a própria arte visual, a representação verbal da representação visual tornouse mais fluida do que nunca 3 " (HEFFERNAN, 2015, p. 53, tradução nossa). Nota-se, então, que a proposta de uma écfrase com o intuito mimético permanece, ainda que, agora, Heffernan (2015) considere as transformações corridas no corpo da própria arte -substancialmente distinta do exemplo do escudo de Aquiles.…”

“…When they involve different media, they necessarily offer different modalities of experience, but the experiences that they do induce can collaborate with the ritual experiences when these forms recall and thereby reinforce the ritual experiences, comment on their significance, or link them to other symbols within the cultural repertoire. In the case at hand, we will be analyzing a poem from the Bektashi tradition that comments on the Bektashi initiation ritual and the intended experiences it induces; the poem might then be considered a ritual version of what in literary and media studies is known as ekphrasis, usually referring to a literary description or elaboration of a work of visual art (Wagner 1996;Heffernan 2015). What the ritual presents, the poem re-presents, but it does so in its own way, with its own preferred emphases and strategies for manipulating symbols, and within its own media-dependent method and genre-specific style.…”
