Analyses of intermediality in narrative fiction have mainly focused on the evocation of images in the main body of the text. More recently, intermedial research has started to include visual material in multimodal narratives. The present essay explores an issue neglected by these two approaches, namely the interplay between visual illustration and verbal representation as interdependent framing devices. The examples under scrutiny offer multiple framings and frame-breaks, provoking reflections on representation, media, and interpretation.

“…is also graphically promiscuous. Even at first glance it presents itself as an aggressively -perhaps even oppressively -visual narrative that could be called an "iconotext" (Louvel 2011;Wagner 1996), "imagetext" (W.J.T. Mitchell 1994), "mixed" (Bernier 1990), or "hybrid" (Sadokierski 2011) text, that is, one that creates its meaning through complex and intricate intersections of words with images.…”

The word "iconotext" conveys the desire to bring together two irreducible objects and form a new object in a fruitful tension in which each object maintains its specificity.…”

This article analyses how Radha was depicted in miniature paintings between the 16th and 19th century in North India. Interrogating the link between text and image, contrasting poetry, style and historical settings with the visual representations of this central figure, the reflections focus on the changing nature of Radha. Through various examples from miniature paintings of different periods and schools, this article analyses the way the rich personality of Radha was transposed into images. In order to stress the changes brought to this female figure, she will be compared to Krishna, the masculine figure who is always at her side. The main goal of the article is to show the normative power of images on the figure of Radha, with normativity being understood as the simplification, iconisation, aestheticisation and stereotypification of a figure with polysemous references. KeywordsRadha; icon; visuality; normativity; Indian miniature painting; iconotext. Author affiliationNadia Cattoni is a PhD candidate at Lausanne University and studies the work of the Braj poet Dev (1643Dev ( ?-1745, specifically his nāyikābhedas, the famous genre of the rītikāla. Her fields of research are the courtly poetry of pre-modern India in Brajbhasha, its link with Sanskrit literature and aesthetics, and translations from Indian languages.
