Medieval art, according to modern scholars, abhors the same. The notion of horror vacui—the fear of empty space—is thus often construed as a definitive feature of Gothic material culture. In The Absent Image, Elina Gertsman argues that Gothic art, in its attempts to grapple with the unrepresentability of the invisible, actively engages emptiness, voids, gaps, holes, and erasures.Exploring complex conversations among medieval philosophy, physics, mathematics, piety, and image-making, Gertsman considers the concept of nothingness in concert with the imaginary, revealing profoundly inventive approaches to emptiness in late medieval visual culture, from ingenious images of the world’s creation ex nihilo to figurations of absence as a replacement for the invisible forces of conception and death.Innovative and challenging, this book will find its primary audience with students and scholars of art, religion, physics, philosophy, and mathematics. It will be particularly welcomed by those interested in phenomenological and cross-disciplinary approaches to the visual culture of the later Middle Ages.Nothing (Philosophy) in artEmptiness (Philosophy) in artAbsence in artManuscripts, MedievalIllumination of books and manuscripts, MedievalNothing (Philosophy) in art.Emptiness (Philosophy) in art.Absence in art.Manuscripts, Medieval.Illumination of books and manuscripts, Medieval.745.6/700902Gertsman Elina1518890MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910795651703321The Absent Image3756700UNINA03338nam 22006133u 450 991082759990332120220926225356.01-58729-434-6(CKB)1000000000238653(EBL)837086(OCoLC)772845799(SSID)ssj0000154152(PQKBManifestationID)11162555(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000154152(PQKBWorkID)10406164(PQKB)11759486(MiAaPQ)EBC837086(EXLCZ)99100000000023865320131216d2005|||| u|| |engtxtccrThe feminist avant-garde in American poetry[electronic resource]Iowa City University of Iowa Press20051 online resource (275 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-87745-836-7 Acknowledgments; Introduction; Part I.

Elisabeth Frost focuses on a diverse group of poets--Gertrude Stein, Mina Loy, Sonia Sanchez, Susan Howe, and Harryette Mullen--who make language the site of feminist politics. Her study captures the range of aesthetics and politics in the work of avant-garde women poets; challenges the ways in which avant-garde writing has been defined and categorized; expands traditional conceptions of feminism and feminist poetics; and addresses issuesAmerican poetryHistory and criticism20th centuryUnited StatesFeminism and literatureHistory20th centuryUnited StatesAvant-garde (Aesthetics)History20th centuryUnited StatesWomen and literatureHistory20th CenturyAmerican poetryHistory and criticismWomen authorsExperimental poetry, AmericanHistory and criticismFeminist poetry, AmericanHistory and criticismAmerican poetryHistory and criticismFeminism and literatureHistoryAvant-garde (Aesthetics)HistoryWomen and literatureHistoryAmerican poetryHistory and criticismWomen authorsExperimental poetry, AmericanHistory and criticismFeminist poetry, AmericanHistory and criticism811.5099287811/.5099287Frost Elisabeth A1696537AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910827599903321The feminist avant-garde in American poetry4076558UNINA
