...Tamar Yacobi As in my previous work, I define ekphrasis (following up Meir Sternberg’s quotation theory) as intermedial quotation or re-presentation (representation in the second degree). My focus here is on the intersection of two of its less common forms: Double Exposure and the Museum Book...

... constantly uses these phenomena for purposes other than the primary conventional ones. On the background of this constant literary misuse of culturally conventional phenomena, the article argues that a literary misuse, a heterodox use, is tied to the doxa of these new phenomena, a relation termed the double...

...Emma Kafalenos Doubly coded artworks—artworks that are embedded in other artworks— sometimes represent an art form (a medium, a genre) that at the time they are made cannot be represented except through double coding. The phenomenon is rare and occurs only when several conditions are met. First...

... and the related ekphrastic moments. My reading is inspired by Liliane Louvel’s (2011) concept of a “picture gallery novel”, Tamar Yacobi’s (2013) work on “double exposure”, and Emma Kafalenos’s (2012) concern with narrativization of sequences of images.

To show how these different conceptual underpinnings feed into contrasting academic practices, we supplement this theoretical overview with a double case study of Hans Christian Andersen’s short story “ The Shadow” (“Skyggen”).
