Nurit Yaari is Professor of Theatre Studies at the Yolanda and David Katz Faculty of Arts, Tel Aviv University, Israel. She has authored French Contemporary Theatre 1960–1992 (1994) and Le Thèâtre de Hanokh Levin: Ensemble à l'ombre des canons (2008) and edited On Interpretation in the Arts (2000), and two books on Israeli prominent playwrights-directors The Man with the Myth in the Middle: The Theatre of Hanoch Levin (with Shimon Levy, 2004) and On Kings, Gypsies and Performers: The Theatre of Nissim Aloni (2006). She has published widely Ancient Greek tragedy and its reception in the 20th century theatre.
In recent years, inter-medial studies have attracted increasing attention in arts theory. The notion of ‘inter-mediality’ presupposes that each established art – such as theatre, painting, and cinema – indicates the existence of a particular medium, which preserves its distinct features in translations from art to art and, especially, in its combinations with others in single works. Nonetheless, this field of research is presupposed already in the traditional studies of ‘ekphrasis’, which focus on the verbal accounts of nonverbal works of art; and in Wagner's notion of Gesamtkuntswerk.
This renewed interest generated new fields of research, such as (a) the likelihood of the arts reflecting common grounds; (b) the necessity of a shared metalanguage; (b) the possibility of inter-medial translation; and (d) the inter-medial coexistence within a single work of art, without hindering the reading, interpreting and experiencing abilities of receivers.
In honor of Eli Rozik, Ph.D., professor emeritus, former head of the Department
of Theatre Studies, and Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Tel Aviv University, this
collection provides overviews of all these theoretical issues, and tackles the
contemporary practical questions that arise from attempts to transgress the boundaries
between the established disciplines of arts studies. Considering first the theoretical
aspects of inter-art, inter-mediality, and nonverbal literacy, Exploring
the Common Grounds of the Arts goes on to discuss, by means of performance analysis, dialogues between the
arts within a single work, and correspondences between visual and auditory stimuli
in musical contexts. It concludes with a discussion of practical examples of
inter-mediality in religious representations, official processions, and public
performances.

Index
Scholars of many genres of fine arts summarize theoretical issues and describe contemporary practical questions arising from attempts to cross boundaries between established disciplines in art studies. Their topics include approaches to inter-art aesthetics, artistic inserts as an arena for intro-medial and inter-medial relations, “negative images” in Beckett's Krapp’s Last Tape and Picasso’s collages as cases of inter-art negative imagistic thinking, cross-modal correspondences and musical representations, and the inter-relations between the written word and the painted image.
