(Re-)präsentieren von (Re-)präsentationen? Zum Verhältnis von Repräsentationsbegriff und Ekphrasis im Kontext digitaler Bild-Text-Verschränkungen

Abstract

This paper aims to reevaluate the use of the concept of representation as it is used to define the concept of ekphrasis, while taking into account recent developments of digital (visual) culture. It offers an account on the different ways representation can be understood as part of those definitions and how they prove successful – or fail to do so – in digital environments, mainly by resorting to the philosophical method of conceptual analysis.
