To write means to construct language, not to explain it." Max Bense, Entwurf einer Rheinlandschaft, 1962 "Mi preme sottolineare come uno dei trait-d'union tra queste composizioni concrete, e quelle di molta altra poesia visiva, stia nell'urgenza avvertita da tutti questi ricercatori di accostarsi ad un tipo di comunicazione attraverso la parola che sia quanto possibile diretta e visualmente immediata; che si accosti all'efficacia drammaticamente coercitiva dello slogan pubblicitario."

Fight for the Arts – Strijd om de kunst

2011

In the whole routine of husbandry, there is not a subject on which there is so great a want of infonnation as in treating sicJi animals, and preventing diseases ; and in no case do so serious and frequent losses occur, for want of knowledge. These losses, in this country, amount to a vast sum annually, not less than some miUions of dollars ; the greater part of which might be saved by good management and proper treatment. More than twenty years ago, we commenced collecting valuable rules and prescriptions, for managing animals and curing diseases, for our own private use in pursuing the business of farming ; and in a number of instances, neighbors consulted these authorities, and by aid of a simple recipe, saved the lives of valuable animals. A mere item of a few lines, that costs less than one mill, may enable the farmer to save the life of an animal. By the help of a single prescription, whole herds and flocks have been saved from the 'pestilence that walketh in darkness, and the destruction that wasteth at noonday." We have continued our collection of valuable matter, consulting the best American and European authorities on the vetermary art, and many skilful practitioners, from whom we have obtained new and valuable prescriptions ; and in conducting agricultural jounials for more than twelve years, we have carefully examined all the works of this character, in this country, and some of the principal English periodicals, through which numerous intelligent farmers have communicated their experience in managing stock and treating diseased animals. Availing ourselves of our own experience and observation as a practical farmer, and conductor of papers devoted to the tarming interest, and of our numerous sources, we have collected a vast heap of valuable materials on the subject of this work. This we have examined, sifted, arranged, digested, and reduced, by excluding words and retaining ideas, facts, and opinions, so as to present the cream and substance of the whole, in one neat, cheap volume, within the means of every one, and in a clear, simple style, within the comprehension of every one of common capacity.

WORDS AND IMAGES MASTER THESIS (yöktez)

YÖKTEZ, 2020

This research examines the eleven poems of the Modernist American poet, William Carlos Williams who is inspired by the masterpieces of the Dutch painter Pieter Bruegel, the Elder, of the fifteenth century. The inter-relation between painting and poetry is called ekphrasis, which can be simply explained as the linguistic projection of visual art. Heffernan (1939-) defines this term as “the verbal representations of visual representations.” In addition to ekphrasis, this thesis aims to analyze the eleven poems of Williams in terms of structural, symbolic and thematic approaches. The primary source of this study is the poetry book, Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems (1962) by Williams who has reflected upon the paintings of Brueghel. The first part of this study will focus on Williams’ poetic life in order to understand the ekphrastic nature of his selected poems. For instance, when did Williams’ interest for visual art start? Where did he acquire the idea that revealed the paintings of Bruegel in the embodiment of words? What did it mean to analyze Brueghel’s paintings? All these questions and more will be answered in the research. This thesis focuses not only on the poet, Williams and his poetic revelations, but also on Brueghel’s artistic perspectives and concerns. The research aims to construct versatile experiences and enrich new dimensions in readers.

METHODS OF TEACHING AND LEARNING IN THE FIELD OF BILDLITERALITÄT / VISUAL LITERACY ABSTRACT In this paper, that addresses different methods of teaching and learning in the field of Bildliteralität, the experiences with competence orientated art education are in the mainframe of research. The goal is to get more detailed information about the specific teaching-learning interaction by using the model of competence orientated visual literacy (according to the European Guideline CEFR_VL). The setting of a task in the process of the creative work within the parameters of visual literacy is a major issue. One of the research goals was the process how the children would appropriate professional, personal social competencies. These teaching-learning processes were supposed to be discussed later on in the discourse of art education. The ongoing inquiry started in 2014/15. Up to now the location of the inquiry were two classes in a viennese primary school (age bracket 6-9 years). The frame of reference was multilingualism. The choice of the schools corresponded to socio-economic and socio-cultural circumstances. Using art specific didactic methods under the mainframe of the competency model were supported by documenting and interpretating. Qualitative research methods (participating supervision, interviewing, photo- and video documentation, phenomenological analysis, case study) were used to get a larger context how visual literacy methods are positioned in art education. Within the span of a few weeks time up to the period of several months the tasks brought little by little the addressed competencies to light. It is helpful using the competence-orientated model of visual literacy within an artistic setting of serial tasks rather than analysing a single task. But ist demands a larger amount of time to make competencies accessible by acting in the artistic field.
