Images, Words, and Narrative Epistemology.
Fleckenstein, Kristie S.
College English, v58 n8 p914-33 Dec 1996
Reviews work suggesting that imagery and language function in tandem to constitute a sense of being, and that metaphors of sight hold as much formative power as metaphors of word. Describes the limitations of language and the ways in which imagery compensates for that limitation. Discusses narrative of epistemology as a fusion of image and language. (TB)
