Abstract
This article attempts to identify the similarities and differences between the methods of stylistic criticism, a discipline with enduring, if somewhat abated, vitality, and of intermedial comparison, a relatively new field with considerable potential for growth. This article considers the possibility of a common legislation underlying these different scientific traditions and examines the potential for discrepancies between them. While some decisive inter-arts analyses emerge from the applicative interests of stylistics, as well as from intermedial studies and certain traditions of studies that, in the Italian context, can be considered a kind of prehistory of them, form appears as content and is anything but ancillary. Despite the diversity of their starting hypotheses, methods and results, both traditions aspire to describe and define their objects of study, inter-artistic and otherwise, adopting a combination of close-up and wide-ranging perspectives, structures and temporality, technique and history, and a synthesis of detailed analyses and expansive interpretative overviews. This is underpinned by the conviction that « der liebe Gott steckt im Detail » (Warburg), and by a commitment to the critical assessment of processes.
