{"product_id":"figural-philology-adi-efal-9781474254014","title":"Figural Philology","description":"Though inspired by a Panofskyan legacy, this book diverges at certain points from Erwin Panofsky's declared objectives, and calls attention to several of aspects that were until now less accentuated in his intellectual reception. Insisting on the importance of iconology as a method for art history and the humanities in general, it shows how examining this promotes a cooperation between the history of art and the history of philosophy. It discusses whether Panofsky's method could be of use for general questions in the epistemology of the historical sciences that examine human works. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFigural Philology \u003c\/i\u003ealso shows that Panofsky shares affinities with twentieth-century romance philology. A reading of Panofsky's work alongside the philological enterprise of Erich Auerbach and several other authors demonstrates that a proper appropriation of the philological impulse can provide a way out of the methodological antimony still hanging between hyper-formalist and hyper-theoretical approaches to the history of art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adi Efal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474254012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474254014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Adi Efal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579752038655,"sku":"9781474254014","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e4dcf26-196c-41e2-8768-c0940e4e43df.jpg?v=1763876401","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/figural-philology-adi-efal-9781474254014","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
