Ce numéro spécial de la revue Image [&] Narrative, édité par Helena Lamouliatte-Schmitt (Université de Bordeaux - CLIMAS EA 4196 Université Bordeaux Montaigne) propose des relectures croisées du tableau iconique Christina’s World du peintre américain Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009) par des universitaires européens et nord-américains. Leurs contributions permettent de réévaluer la pertinence et la modernité de l’œuvre de cet artiste controversé, en proposant des analyses théoriques originales du tableau et de sa réception, ou en étudiant la remédiation de cette image par des artistes contemporains.

Image [&] Narrative is a peer-reviewed e-journal on visual narratology and word and image studies in the broadest sense of the term. It does not focus on a narrowly defined corpus or theoretical framework, but questions the mutual shaping of literary and visual cultures. Beside tackling theoretical issues, it is a platform for reviews of real life examples.

Each issue features four parts: 1) a thematic cluster, guest-edited by specialized scholars in the field; 2) a selection of various articles; 3) a few "experiences" of research; 4) reviews of recent publications. Image [&] Narrative is a bilingual journal, which publishes contributions in either English or French, and which fosters cross-cultural and interdisciplinary dialogue between linguistic and scientific traditions.
