ekphrasis, fold, word and image relations

Resumen

The article provides a new theoretical perspective on ekphrasis, a very old rhetorical and literary device. The new approach applies the morphology of the fold, a notion examined by Gottfried Willhelm Leibniz in the 17th century and recently discussed by Gilles Deleuze and Anna Munster, to present ekphrasis as a continuum of word and image rather than the opposition of the verbal and the visual. The hybrid nature of ekphrasis and the dynamic tensions between its verbal and visual components allow for the blurring of the boundaries between word and image.
