| book description |

Based on papers presented at the Fifth Triennial Conference of the International Association of Word and Image Studies (IAWIS/AERTI) held in 2002 in Hamburg, the twenty-two essays in this volume cover a wide array of intermedial relations and a great variety of media, from medieval architecture to interactive digital art. They have been arranged in sections labeled â€œHistory and Identity,â€ â€œCultural Memory,â€ â€œTexts and Photographs: Cultural Anthropology and Cultural Memory,â€ â€œMixed-Media Texts: Cartography in Contemporary Art and Fiction,â€ â€œMixed-Media Texts: â€˜Yellow-Cover Booksâ€™, Artists' Books, and Comics,â€ â€œIntermedia Texts: Logotypes,â€ and â€œSpace, Spatialization, Virtual Space.â€ Displaying a range of methods and interests, these contributions by scholars from Europe, the United States, and South America working in different disciplines confirm the impression voiced by IAWIS president Charlotte Schoell-Glass in her introduction that â€œthe influence of Visual and Cultural Studies has changed the outlook of many who study the interactions of texts and imagesâ€.
