- Contents
- Ever since Horace (Ars Poetica) stated the supposed similarity of poetry and painting through his dictum "ut pictura poesis", this notion was unchallenged until Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (Laokoon oder über die Grenzen der Malerei und Poesie, 1766) argued against this premise. The traditional role of art is to imitate the real world (principle of mimesis, c. Aristotle, Horace, Plutarch). Nevertheless, art can never fully hold up to the 'real' because art is essentially a system of representation. In this seminar, we will ponder upon the similarity of the so-called "Sister Arts" (Hagstrum, The Sister Arts, 1958) and their reciprocality (Kennedy and Meek, Ekphrastic Encounters, 2019), as well as their antagonistic stance, e.g. in the model of the paragone following Lessing's tradition. We will apply different literary approaches (e.g. cognitive poetics, reader-response theory, postcolonialism) onto texts and images from different periods past and present.
