Abstract

Graphic literature and visual poetry can be understood as arts of the in-between in at least two ways: on the one hand, they combine image and text as aesthetic and semantic means of expression; on the other, they reflect this in-between position via intermedial references and an affinity for themes of interspatial, marginal(ized) experience. Their genre-forming and genre-breaking specificities can be found in their engagements with multidimensional character/image relationships, with semantic determination and opening, with boundary transgressions, and with shifts between different semiotic systems. This dossier brings together media-comparative perspectives on different expressions of image-text relations as a way to identify and conceptualize characteristics and potentials of the in-between.
