| book description |

Distinguished literary and film theorists convene to engage with Garrett Stewartâ€™s twenty books of inter-medial analysis, shelved across several disciplines, in a collection of essays as multifaceted and resonant as Stewart's own writing. Critical luminaries from the fields of literary and film studies assess the methods and scope of Garrett Stewartâ€™s career-long work across the fields of literary history and poetics, cinema and media studies. The unprecedented scope of Stewartâ€™s interests also embraces certain lines of development in art history down through the so-called post-medium condition, including abstract as well as figurative painting, conceptual book sculptureâ€”followed by an interactive e-text monograph on the place of time-based images in contemporary gallery installation. Through it all, under the rubric of what Stewart calls â€œnarratography,â€ there is a continual return to microplots of fictional phrasing, from Victorian novels to post-millennial American fiction. Given Stewartâ€™s steadily tuned ear for the play of vocal enunciation, his interests arc in this way from a performative phonetics of print text to a study of star-singing on screen. Assorted essays variously analyze directly, or extrapolate from, Stewartâ€™s evolving methodology: a â€œsignatureâ€ analytic intensity tested in its yield on interpretive challenges from literary prose and art history through cinema theory and screen stardom. Bandwidths accompanies a companion volume, Attention Spansâ€”Stewartâ€™s â€œautobiographical,â€ or better, autophilosophical chronicle of method and evolution. Contributors to Bandwidths either address Stewartâ€™s aims and achievements directly or build implicitly on them in fresh investigations of their own. Bandwidths is a rare window into the genealogy, and contested energies, of interpretive endeavor, and offers interpretive and methodological interventions into fields ready to be reminded and recharged by Stewartâ€™s stalwart catalogue of indefatigable literary-critical and intermedial offerings.
