| Sumario: | At the turn of the millennium, the library as an artistic subject not only experienced a boom in contemporary Western literature, but also in painting, sculpture and object art. Many of these library representations draw on a broad pool of linguistic as well as visual topoi, which in turn go back to a long cultural-historical tradition and an extensive iconographic inventory. In her study, Martina Bork unfolds a tableau of contemporary library depictions and their metaphors. She analyzes these metaphors with regard to their nature, their functioning and their interpretative added value. What is innovative here is the synchronous access, focused on library metaphors, which crosses media boundaries and consciously distances itself from diachronic, motif-historical considerations. In addition to the cultural functions of the library as an institution for storing, passing on and distributing knowledge, the author also looks at other functionalizations. Imaginary libraries are not only ideal projection screens for the artistic processing of questions relating to the culture of remembrance; through metaphor they allow the fine arts to link up with specific literary and cultural topoi. The cross-media consideration of this both linguistic and visual phenomenon makes it possible to identify cultural patterns of interpretation, despite the different forms of realization. Last but not least, imaginary libraries document the fascination that they still exert as a spatially concrete hoard of books, especially in the age of ubiquitously available electronic information. |
