Mieke Bal is known for her specific ways of deep reading of works including that of Rembrandt to Caravaggio. She intertwines research with literature, psycho-analysis, gender studies, philosophy, and bible studies. Going strong at 78 years of age, she ruminates on a long life with different roles not with an autobiography, but through this ABC of key terms that weave together daily experiences, her know-how when it comes to art creation, and core concepts of her cultural research.
