“…Images are perceived and understood at a glance without linear reading. (For theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence see for example Arnheim 1974;Barthes 1977;Paivio 1986;Garcia & Stark 1991;Messaris & Abraham 2001;Becker 2003Becker [1992; Hagan 2007;Horstkotte & Pedri 2008. ) As a result of introducing individual and variously sized headlines as well as photos and line art illustrations, information was presented fundamentally differently from previous periods.…”

“…Despite the noted differences between these two modes, scholars such as Mitchell (1994) and Steiner (1982) later suggested that both aspire to metaphorically express feelings, perspectives, or ideas about the world. Therefore, this orientation advocates the application of tools to unravel mutual literary text and visual art relations and identifiable interactions (Steiner 1982, Bal 1991, Mitchell 1994, Horstkotte and Pedri 2008.…”

The paper examined expert literature teachers' coping with a novel textbook, integrating literature with visual arts, which is a particular interdisciplinary case of text-image relations in textbooks. Examination was performed within the framework of teachers' responses to curricular changes and of theory regarding strategies of interdisciplinary instruction. Data regarding teachers' coping was collected via video recorded deep interviews and analysed qualitatively using the phenomenological approach. Findings revealed four phases of a recurring pattern of performance: (a) retrieving prior knowledge about texts, (b) cycles of processing and refinement (comprising comparing-identifying-matching, making meaning of elements in contexts, eliciting themes and deeply examining artworks' devices), (c) mindful evaluation of the juxtaposition, and (d) pedagogical reasoning. Four potential roles of the textbook visual artworks, for promoting literature learning, were inferred. The study shed some light on the involvement of teacher cognition and culture of teaching in the reading, evaluating, and adapting of novel curricula. A deeper understanding of the factors involved in the introduction of novel materials, examined from a cognitive perspective, may inform teachers' professional development and curriculum developers as well as promote implementations of curricular reforms.

“…Their role might be understood to translate the content of the poem into a visual signification. While this has been discussed in numerous essays in relation to poetry written to photography (see for example, Döring, 2008;Harsthotte and Pedri, 2008;Louvel, 2008;Rindge and Leahy, 2006), little attention has been paid to photography that accompanies pre-existing poetry. Some of the functions of traditional ekphrasisthe verbal adaptation of a non-verbal piece of art (Cunningham, 2007) -remain the same in 'reverse ekphrasis' (Watson, 2009: 526): in particular, 'stopping that action, the narrative flow of a longer work, to direct his [sic] gaze, his characters' gaze, our gaze, for a while, at such a thing or things' (Cunningham, 2007: 57).…”

This article examines the hybrid documentary series Who Do You Think You Are?, The Monastery and The Convent in relation to their ability to update the documentary format. It asks if new forms of engagement with documentary subjects are enabled by the impact of light entertainment and reality television genres. It argues that although the generic mix contributes to the situation of truth in the tension between the public and the private, it is a set of static images, used particularly often in reflective moments, that facilitate a more introspective and intrinsic form of learning. These images resemble closely those used in popular anthologies of poetry or meditation books, in that they foreground their poetic function and hence appear to offer something to look at rather than primarily conveying additional meaning.
