SUMMARY:Text and Image: Transmedial Inquiries into Ancient Near Eastern Cultures
DTSTART:20180427T133000Z
DTEND:20180427T211500Z
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: We are now fully booked for this event and are no lo
 nger accepting RSVPs. In the ancient Near East many monuments and arti
 facts incorporated both pictorial and written compositions. “Text an
 d Image” has long been a trope in philological and art historical st
 udies inquiring into the mixture or conjoining of the verbal and the v
 isual. Image and language\, and discourse and icon\, are disjunctive s
 ymbolic systems\, and there are sense-making operations that do not ne
 cessarily take a narrative form. Moreover\, when it comes to narrative
 \, it has been long recognized that the migration of a story or messag
 e from one medium to another presents cognitive consequences\, and tha
 t the narrative potential will necessarily be differently actualized. 
 Rather than perceiving of narrative as a linguistic object\, this work
 shop examines narrative in cognitive terms\, understanding it in the f
 irst place as a mental image realizable in various media.
