The imaginary as a critical concept originated in the twentieth century and has been theorized in diverse ways. It can be understood as a register of thought; the way we interpret the world; the universe of images, signs, texts, and objects of thought. In this volume, it is explored as it manifests itself in encounters between the verbal and the visual. A number of the essays brought together here explore the transposition of the imaginary in illustrations of texts and verbal renditions of images, as well as in comic books based on paintings or on verbal narratives. Others analyze ways in which books deal with film or television and investigate the imaginary in digital media. Special attention is paid to the imaginary of places and the relationship of the imaginary with memory. Written in English and French, these contributions by European and American scholars demonstrate the various concerns and approaches characteristic of contemporary scholarship in word and image studies.

'I cut my son's hair and it falls like wheat.' Memories of acutely illuminated moments permeate these stories and poems, moments redolent with feeling that unfold into experiences of loss and learning. Beautifully written, each piece reflects on the evolving body as it goes through childhood, adolescence, motherhood and old age, as it confronts divorce and death as well as love and birth. Evocative, astute, both wry and movingly elegiac, this collection comes from a talented new writer.
