The Dream of the Moving Statue
Angebote / Angebote:
Exploring a perennial fascination with the idea of an animated statue (most familiarly represented perhaps in the myth of Pygmalion) and its converse (petrifaction of living individuals), Gross both delights and instructs the reader through an exploration of a quite astonishing number of significant examples that include poetry, film, drama, psychoanalysis, and philosophy, to say nothing of a few famous statues themselves...that continually provoke the reader into the exhilarating experience of new insights into the workings of the imagination, the arousal of fear and desire, and the dangerously porous borderlines between the inanimate and the animate, the object and the subject, and finally, between death and life.
