The words “iconology” and “iconography” are often confused, and they have never been given definitions accepted by all iconographers and iconologists. Panofsky 1955 (cited under General Overviews) defined “iconography” as the study of subject matter in the visual arts and “iconology” as an attempt to analyze the significance of that subject matter within the culture that produced it. This definition was prescriptive rather than descriptive, and many art historians before Erwin Panofsky who would have called themselves “iconographers” were engaged in investigations that Panofsky would have termed “iconological.” Another source of semantic disagreement has arisen from the perceived overinterpretations of Panofsky and his school, which have led some art historians to reject the word “iconology.” It seems useful, nevertheless, to keep a distinction between iconography and iconology, since it draws attention to a fundamental distinction between the study of words and the study of images. While iconology corresponds to the historical criticism of texts in literary studies, iconography has no obvious counterpart outside histories of the visual. At the same time, in art historical practice iconography and iconology feed into each other, as the literature surveyed in this bibliography shows.

What rhetorical strategies does Denby use in the first paragraph to create a picture of the female villain of teen movies? Consi
dangina [55]

Answer:

In the first paragraph, Denby uses rhetorical strategies such as metaphors and irony to create a picture of the female villain of teen movies. For instance, he uses the metaphor, “hair flipped into a swirl of gold” to describe the appearance of female villains of teen movies. This paints a picture in the readers’ mind of what a typical female villain should look like. In addition, he uses irony when stating, “Everyone is afraid of her; that’s why she’s popular.” One would think that when people are afraid of someone, they would not think of them as popular, making this ironic.

What are the COMPLETE lyrics to Afterlife by Illenium?
klemol [59]
After we’re gone
Who will breathe the earth we lost
We leave nothing but our thoughts
And memories beneath the dust
So when this body fails to mend
And all my demons they come crashing in
Will I start to begin
Or will I fade away with them

And in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
In the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
And in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
In the afterlife

And in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
In the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
And in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
In the afterlife

So when this body fails to mend
And all the demons they come crashing in
Will we start to begin
Or will we fade away with them

And in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
In the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
And in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
In the afterlife

And in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
In the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
And in the afterlife, tell me we’ll be fine
<span>In the afterlife
