| STEINER, ANN Reading Greek Vases , Cambridge University Press, 2007. (ISBN: 0521825229) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall, NEW/New, Crisp BRAND NEW copy still in original publisher's shrinkwrap. The first comprehensive study of the role of repetition beyond aesthetic value as part of a code which conveys meaning to the viewer. The author relies on theoretical background provided through information theory and narratology to uncover the different types of meaning that the early vase painters created through their use of reptition. She uses the reading of painted verbal inscriptions as a springboard to demonstrate how repititious imagery in multiple fields of a vase can result in narration, paradigm, exploration of perceptual and ideological point of view, and parody. She also shows how the results of repetition on Archaic Athenian vases reiterate activities of the elite, as well as the broader cultural values held by the elite. Altogether an entirely new way of studying ancient Athenian vases. Book is slightly oversized at 10-1/4" USD 68.00 [Appr.: EURO 45.5 | £UK 41 | JP¥ 6002] Book number: 17186 Click here to order or inquire at Garrison House Books. |
