Anamorphosis in Early Modern Literature: Mediation and Affect de Jen E. Boyle

Anamorphosis in Early Modern Literature: Mediation and Affect: Literary and Scientific Cultures of Early Modernity

Autor Jen E. Boyle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2016
Anamorphosis in Early Modern Literature explores the prevalence of anamorphic perspective in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in England. Jen Boyle investigates how anamorphic media flourished in early modern England as an interactive technology and mode of affect in public interactive art, city and garden design, and as a theory and figure in literature, political theory and natural and experimental philosophy. Anamorphic mediation, Boyle brings to light, provided Milton, Margaret Cavendish, and Daniel Defoe, among others, with a powerful techno-imaginary for traversing through projective, virtual experience. Drawing on extensive archival research related to the genre of "practical perspective" in early modern Europe, Boyle offers a scholarly consideration of anamorphic perspective (its technical means, performances, and embodied practices) as an interactive aesthetics and cultural imaginary. Ultimately, Boyle demonstrates how perspective media inflected a diverse set of knowledges and performances related to embodiment, affect, and collective consciousness.

Recenzii

'...a masterful study of political, philosophical, and epistemological spaces in English literature from Eikonoclastes and Leviathan to Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year. Ranging from 17th century Epicureanism to the invention of calculus, from early modern political theory and epistemology to baroque allegory, Boyle's monograph is intellectually adventurous.' Graham Hammill, SUNY at Buffalo, USA 'Boyle's rigorously intellectual and well-research work will appeal to readers interested in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century literature and techno-science. It is also a perfect example of a monograph that every humanities PhD student should study.' Parergon 'The book’s general organization demonstrates a care for introducing, arranging, and following the development of anamorphosis from the second half of the seventeenth century to the first part of the eighteenth, and with major figures familiar to readers.' Philological Quarterly

Descriere

Drawing on extensive archival research, Jen Boyle investigates how the use of anamorphic perspective flourished in early modern England as a technology and medium in public interactive art, city and garden design, and as a theory and figure in literature, political theory and natural and experimental philosophy. This study offers a scholarly consideration of anamorphosis (its technical means, performances, and embodied practices) as an interactive media and cultural imaginary.
