Regime scopico ed ekphrasis nel dibattito sulle arti visuali: una ricognizione

The essay takes its cue from a number of recent studies devoted to the functions ascribed to images in literature ever since the establishment of the pictorial turn in contemporary aesthetic debates. Stirring up a specific interest for forms of interaction among the Sister Arts, the essay sets out to survey Michele Cometa's enquiry into the relationship between ekphrasis and literature as displayed in his book La scrittura delle immagini (2012).
