Groupe µ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Groupe µ

Groupe µ is an interdisciplinary group working out of the Center of Poetic Studies at the University of Liege, in Belgium, formed in 1967. Members have included Francis Édeline, Jean-Marie Klinkenberg, Jacques Dubois, Francis Pire, Hadelin Trinon and Philippe Minguet, with several other associate members.

Some of their early work in the 1960s dealt with linguistically-oriented topics such as polysemous language, and the nature of synecdoche and metaphor. In the 1970s and 80s they worked on developing a theoretical approach towards visual rhetoric that involved classifying images according to their differences from plastic and iconic norms.
