The term ‘Denkbild’, in English translated with ‘Thought-image’, is already documented in 18th century German Literature, i.e. in Winckelmann’s and Herder’s works.

Abstract
The term ‘Denkbild’, in English translated with ‘Thought-image’, is already documented in 18th century German Literature, i.e. in Winckelmann’s and Herder’s works. In the Modern age its meaning becomes broader than the original one, namely ‘emblem’. Indeed, it can routinely be employed to mean an image of thought, the literary and conceptually elaborated representation of a visual element. Hence, it fluctuates between different senses such as that of subjective reproduction, idea, or ideal. In the narrower context of Literary Studies, ‘Denkbild’ means a specific form of short prose.File in questo prodotto:
