Softcover, 23 cm. Condición: Wie neu. VIII, 280 pp. A very good copy, as new. - Summary: As Aristotle has written, the image is at the core of the souls language. Indeed, given its significant potential and capacity for revelation heightened in a society dominated by visual culture the image would seem to be key to reflecting, critically and creatively, on humanity and on history itself. Lídia Jorge has asserted several times that her writing has always taken as its starting point a powerful and inspiring image, which concentrates the various meanings and reflections that she intends to explore while also dispersing these across her texts. Radiating from the initial image, Jorge manages to develop a gaze which is simultaneously critical, thorough and informative. Scholars point out that whenever language opens to universal images and mythologies capable of conveying visions of clarity, the subversive power of beauty is re-asserted. This power is confirmed and examined from different points of view and theories in this volume. - Contents: Introduction: Poetics of Image (JOSÉ CÂNDIDO DE OLIVEIRA MARTINS AND NAZARÉ TORRÂO) -- Part I From Looking to Seeing: The Potentiality of Images -- 1?Theories of the Image in Lídia Jorge's Fiction (ANA PAULA FERREIRA) -- 2?Lídia Jorge and the Images Burning in the Thickness of Time (MARIA GRACIETE BESSE) -- 3?Lídia Jorge or the Poetic Object as a Sight of the Incommensurable Image (SÓNIA RITA MELO) -- Part II Images and Testimonies -- 4?Chronicle of a Genre Foretold: The crónica's Trajectory in Lídia Jorge's Narrative (ISABEL CRISTINA RODRIGUES) -- 5?For a New Ecology of Human Experience: Images of the Contemporary in Lídia Jorge's crónicas (JOSÉ CÂNDIDO DE OLIVEIRA MARTINS) -- 6 ?Exposing War Crimes: Verbal and Visual Layering in A Costa dos Murmúrios (OLIVIA GLAZE) -- 7 ?The Sonic Ecology of a Falling Empire in "O Amor em Lobito Bay" (PATRÍCIA MARTINHO FERREIRA) -- Part III From Cinema to Literature -- 8 ?A Specular Game of Images: The Representation of the World and of Artistic Creation in O Jardim sem Limites by Lídia Jorge (ALEXANDRA GONÇALVES LOPES) -- 9 ?The Image of a Still Moment That Escapes: O Jardim sem Limites of Lídia Jorge and the Cinema of Tarkovsky (CONCEIÇÃO BRANDÃO) -- 10?Media, Landscape and Identity in O Cais das Merendas (NAZARÉ TORRÃO) -- Part IV The Woman and Her Image -- 11?Image, Body and Identity in A Noite das Mulheres Cantoras (MARIA ARAÚJO DA SILVA) -- 12?Not Ave but Adeus, Maria, or Re-evaluating the Religious in Notícia da Cidade Silvestre (FRANKLIN NELSON) -- Part V Personal Vews -- 13?New Constellations (LÍDIA JORGE) -- 14?Two Paths to Lídia Jorge (AUGUSTO SANTOS SILVA).
