>This panel, to be proposed for the Modernist Studies Association conference in
>Chicago, IL (3-6 November 2005), examines modern combinations of visual
>imagery and the word, and modes of pictorial storytelling such as the graphic
>novel or narrative collage. Artists effectively ìwrite the imageî in canvases
>and murals incorporating paratextual information, ìwordlessî pictorial
>sequences designed with a narrative purpose, dialectical montage, and picture-
>based narrative in department store catalogues, comics, newsreels, ìcity
>symphonies,î maps, and/or other media aimed at the modern spectator. This
>panel seeks to link visual/sensory studies, art historical and literary
>criticism, and theories of modernity.
>
>Theoretical and historical readings of pictorial storytelling, sequential
>imagery representing race/class/gender/nation, and the changing relationships
>between the popular picture and the avant-garde work of art are welcome. So
>are analyses of propaganda and commodity fetishism; the economics of
>artistic/literary production and consumption; and the relationship between
>sensory perception, creativity, and technological innovation as expressed in
>the visual-verbal image.
