| description | The afterimage is generally considered to be an example of an optical illusion. But can it be more than just a trace of visual perception? The optical term nachbild, or afterimage, refers to this ghostly form of the visible, an image that is still there, even though the eye is no longer exposed to it. It is an example of the paradoxical phenomenon of an illusion that is real. If an image is followed by an image, how can it be preserved? What strategies can be used to delay the representation of someone or something? How does the image disappear and reappear? A reflection on the afterimage inspired by the term based on readings by Roland Barthes, the German philosopher, Gerhard Richter, Friedrich Kittler and Jacques Rancière. The image that remains as a shadow after the source disappears is a characteristic phenomenon of modernity. Exploring the extremes of existence is still important and can be a starting point for a literature that remains on the margins. A minority literature, homelessness, rejected as a shadow of the great and successful ones. This consideration is a starting point for future extensions into a deeper grasp of literary theory. |
