Visual Allusions
In this book a leading researcher and artist explores how we see pictures and how they can communicate messages to us, both directly and indirectly by making allusions to objects in space or to stored images in our minds. Dr Wade provides fascinating examples of pictures that communicate hidden messages, either by implying something else, or by a shape or portrait which is carried covertly within another design. He analyses image processing stages in vision, demonstrating that the various stages may be related to styles in representational art. He shows how the way we have been taught to look at and recognise objects, affects the way we see them. The book lavishly illustrates with original examples of visual allusions and includes detailed practical advice on how photographers and designers can create them. Essential reading for photographers, designers, artists, people in film and television, and anyone involved in visual science , visual communication and advertising.
Allusions in the Press
This corpus-based study of allusions in the British press shows the range of targets journalists allude to - from Shakespeare to TV soaps, from Jane Austen to Hillary Clinton, from hymns to nursery rhymes, proverbs and riddles. It analyzes the linguistic forms allusions take and demonstrates how allusions function meaningfully in discourse. It explores the nature of the background cultural and intertextual knowledge allusions demand of readers and sets out the processing stages involved in understanding an allusion. Allusion is integrated into existing theories of indirect language and linked to idioms, word-play and metaphor.
Allusion Purpose
Allusion Purpose explores the impact of allusionsâreferences to history, mythology, and literatureâon enriching written content. This book examines how writers strategically use these rhetorical devices to add layers of meaning and connect with readers. Allusions aren't just ornamental; they shape our understanding of texts. For example, referencing the story of Icarus can subtly warn against hubris, adding depth beyond the literal words. The book uniquely combines theory with practical application, equipping readers with tools to identify, interpret, and use allusions effectively. It progresses from introducing the mechanics of allusion to exploring historical, mythological, and literary allusions, each section including case studies to demonstrate practical applications. Understanding historical allusions, for instance, might reveal how past events are reinterpreted, enhancing critical reading skills and fostering cultural awareness. This book emphasizes that understanding allusions empowers both writers and readers. By analyzing literary texts and delving into cultural contexts, Allusion Purpose guides readers through the multifaceted world of intertextuality, enhancing academic writing and communication skills. Ultimately, it helps readers appreciate the power of shared knowledge in shaping our understanding of literature and communication.
