Topic: The Sign of the Mute Medusa

	Mitchell, "Ekphrasis and the Other" - _On the Medusa of Leonardo da Vinci_ by Percy Bysshe Shelley - Electronic ...
		Medusa is the image that turns the tables on the spectator and turns the spectator into an image: she must be seen through the mediation of mirrors (Perseus' shield) or paintings or descriptions.
		Medusa is not personified or "given a voice," therefore, to dictate her own story: that would simply amount to a reinscription of poetic authority in the speaker.
		Medusa was a potent image in British cultural politics in the early nineteenth century, deployed as an emblem of the political Other, specifically the "glorious Phantom" of revolution, which Shelley (like many other radical intellectuals) was prophesying in 1819.

	The Power of Metaphor: Veils within Judeo-Christianity and Islam footnotes
		Medusa is a key figure in Greek mythology, in part, because she serves as a possible bridge between ancient goddess lore and the more current patriarchal myths.
		The myth of Medusa, as told by the Greeks, reminds its audience that sexuality, represented by the gaze, is punishable by death and ostracism.
		The myth of Medusa existed before the patriarchal Greeks knew of it, and it was only during the Hellenic period, when the myth of Medusa was revised under the rule of Zeus, that she came to be viewed negatively.

	Clayton, "Concealed Circuits" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Unpublished during his lifetime, "On the Medusa of Leonardo da Vinci in the Florentine Gallery" was assembled from manuscripts by Mary Shelley in her edition of her husband's Posthumous Poems (1824).
		As W. Mitchell has observed, Percy Shelley transforms Medusa into a symbol of revolution, "a victim of tyranny whose weakness, disfiguration, and monstrous mutilation become in themselves a kind of revolutionary power." Since the image of Medusa was widely employed by conservatives in popular representations of the Terror during the
		The poet also finds warrant for this association in the prehistory of Medusa, for the Gorgon was originally a beautiful maiden, raped by Neptune in the temple of Minerva, then turned into a monster by the goddess of wisdom as punishment for the "crime" of being raped.

	Notes, Mitchell, "Ekphrasis and the Other" - _On the Medusa of Leonardo da Vinci_ by Percy Bysshe Shelley - Electronic ...
		For Lessing, arbitrary visual signs (emblems, hieroglyphs, pictographs) such as, for instance, serpents that signify divinity, are well on their way to being a form of writing.
		Not just the phallic shape of the serpent, but its impropriety as an arbitrary sign attached, like language or voice, to a properly "beautiful" and mute statue, is the provocation to adultery.
		I take this to be Jacqueline Rose's point when she says "the link between sexuality and the image produces a particular dialogue which cannot be covered adequately by the familiar opposition between the formal operations of the image and a politics exerted from outside" (Sexuality in the Field of Vision [London: Verso, 1986], p.

		When she tells about those years there comes into her voice an occasional break—that is the only sign of emotion, for Miss Cather has about her nothing of foolish sentimentality, although she has a penetrating warmth of genuine sentiment.
		But she wants it known that she has had a good time during those years of struggle; that she was happy in her travels, her love of music, her friends, her work—but happiness in her actual achievement was long deferred.
		The whole story of Miss Cather's development is there, and an uninformed writer would learn more by pondering on the changes made by Miss Cather in her own story after eighteen years of growth and work than by listening to many lectures from the professors of literature.

		By contrast, the artists in the film recognise in Allida the Medusa that Nick has made of her: Clegg's sculpture of 'Woman' ("that's how he sees us, with snakes in our hair") represents a perfection which is petrification, while the obverse is the fragmentation and dismemberment of bodies so prominent in Clegg's studio.
		This holds true, for instance, in the relation between television and literature, where programmes on authors also tend to draw attention to the gap by a kind of insistence on pleonasms.

		There is a qualitative contrast between induced-field effects in magnetism and electricity: in magnetic materials, the predominant sign of the effect is paramagnetic -- M reinforces H, while in dielectric materials it is opposite -- P diminishes the effect of D.
		The fundamental reason for this is in the sign of the force between similar elements: in magnetism, the Biot-Savart or Amperé (inverse-square) force law between two equal (parallel) current elements is attractive, while Coulomb's (inverse-square) force law for two equal charges is repulsive.
