Translation and Ekphrasis: Dante and the visual arts

Update: 2015-02-24

Description

Ekphrasis finds words for paintings and other visual phenomena; translation finds words for other words. But how secure in this distinction, given that language has visual form, and that the visual arts can employ language-like elements? This seminar explores the interplay between translation and ekphrasis.
