Description

This volume focuses on the multifaceted meaning of wind and its various attributions. Wind is certainly more than an atmospheric phenomenon: the shape of its contours in words and images, its metaphoric density, its ancestral connotation forged by myths, the narrative and lyrical movements it gives life to, are a constant, yet rarely examined, presence. Whims of the Wind brings together original studies on the wind displaying the crucial interconnections between the literary, artistic, physical, symbolic, ecological, and social dimensions. Promoting a plural discourse on narration and representation of the wind as a cross-knot between different disciplines, this collection provides a deep insight into the theme, through multiple examples in modern and contemporary literature as well as in visual arts.
