Re-Enchantment
ISBN: 9780415960519 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 321 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The near-absence of religion from contemporary discourse on art is one of the most fundamental issues in postmodernism. Artists critical of religion can find voices in the art world, but religion itself, including spirituality, is taken to be excluded by the very project of modernism. The sublime, "re-enchantment" (as in Weber), and the aura (as in Benjamin) have been used to smuggle religious concepts back into academic writing, but there is still no direct communication between "religionists" and scholars. Re-Enchantment, volume 7 in The Art Seminar Series, will be the first book to...

Our Beautiful, Dry and Distant Texts: Art History as Writing
ISBN: 9780415926638 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Our Beautiful, Dry, and Distant Texts examines art historical writing as an expressive medium, capable of emotion and reflection - and therefore deserving of serious consideration for its own sake, as the testament of art history and of individual historians. Elkins asks such questions as: How do various art historical approaches represent works of art? What can they see, and what must they miss? And what insight does such writing offer us about ourselves? Drawing on analyses of texts by Derrida, Deleuze and other leading critics, as well as illustrations of artworks from various...

Visual Cultures
ISBN: 9781841503073 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Visual Cultures" is the first study of the place of visuality and literacy in specific nations around the world, featuring authoritative, insightful essays on the value accorded to the visual and the verbal in Japan, Poland, China, Russia, Ireland, and Slovenia. Focusing on the national instead of the global, distinguished art critic James Elkins offers a critique of general histories of visuality, such as those of Martin Jay or Jean Baudrillard, as well as a critique of local histories of visuality, as in "Third Text" and other postcolonial studies. The content is not only analytic,... "Visual Cultures" is the first study of the place of visuality and literacy in specific nations around the world, featuring authoritative, insightf... |

Six Stories from the End of Representation: Images in Painting, Photography, Astronomy, Microscopy, Particle Physics, and Quantum Mechanics, 1980-2000
ISBN: 9780804741484 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. James Elkins has shaped the discussion about how we--as artists, as art historians, or as outsiders--view art. He has not only revolutionized our thinking about the purpose of teaching art, but has also blazed trails in creating a means of communication between scientists, artists, and humanities scholars. In Six Stories from the End of Representation, Elkins weaves stories about recent images from painting, photography, physics, astrophysics, and microscopy. These images, regardless of origin, all fail as representations: they are blurry, dark, pixellated, or otherwise unclear. In...

ISBN: 9780415977869 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Art criticism is spurned by universities, but widely produced and read. It is seldom theorized and its history has hardly been investigated. The State of Art Criticism presents an international conversation among art historians and critics that considers the relation between criticism and art history and poses the question of whether criticism may become a university subject. Contributors include Dave Hickey, James Panero, Stephen Melville, Lynne Cook, Michael Newman, Whitney Davis, Irit Rogoff, Guy Brett and Boris Groys.

Art History Versus Aesthetics

In this unprecedented collection, over twenty of the world's most prominent thinkers on the subject including Arthur Danto, Stephen Melville, Wendy Steiner, Alexander Nehamas, and Jay Bernstein ponder the disconnect between these two disciplines. The volume has a radically innovative structure: it begins with introductions, and centres on an animated conversation among ten historians and aestheticians. That conversation was then sent to twenty scholars for commentary and their responses are very diverse: some are informal letters and others full essays with footnotes. Some think they have...

Stories of Art
ISBN: 9780415939423 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This intimate history of art demonstrates persuasively that there can never be one story of art. Cultures have their own stories - about themselves, about other cultures - and to hear them all is one way to hear the multiple stories that art tells. But each of us also has our own story of art, a kind of private art history made up of the pieces we have seen, and loved or hated, the effects they had on us, and the connections that might be drawn among them. Elkins opens up the questions that traditional art history usually avoids. What about all the art not produced in Western Europe or in the...

What Photography Is
ISBN: 9780415995689 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In What Photography Is, James Elkins examines the strange and alluring power of photography in the same provocative and evocative manner as he explored oil painting in his best-selling What Painting Is. In the course of an extended imaginary dialogue with Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida, Elkins argues that photography is also about meaninglessness--its apparently endless capacity to show us things that we do not want or need to see--and also about pain in so far as extremely powerful images that can sear into our consciousness permanently. Extensively illustrated with a surprising range of...

The Poetics of Perspective
ISBN: 9780801483790 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Perspective has been a divided subject, orphaned among various disciplines from philosophy to gardening. In the first book to bring together recent thinking on perspective from such fields as art history, literary theory, aesthetics, psychology, and the history of mathematics, James Elkins leads us to a new understanding of how we talk about pictures. Elkins provides an abundantly illustrated history of the theory and practice of perspective. Looking at key texts from the Renaissance to the present, he traces a fundamental historical change that took place in the way in which perspective was...

Photography Theory
ISBN: 9780415977838 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Photography Theory presents forty of the world's most active art historians and theorists, including Victor Burgin, Joel Snyder, Rosalind Krauss, Alan Trachtenberg, Geoffrey Batchen, Carol Squiers, Margaret Iversen and Abigail Solomon-Godeau in animated debate on the nature of photography. Photography has been around for nearly two centuries, but we are no closer to understanding what it is. For some people, a photograph is an optically accurate impression of the world, for others, it is mainly a way of remembering people and places. Some view it as a sign of bourgeois...

Master Narratives and their Discontents
ISBN: 9780415972697 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this bracing engagement with the many versions of art history, James Elkins argues that the story of modernism and postmodernism is almost always told in terms of four narratives. Works of art are either seen as modern or postmodern, or praised for their technical skill or because of the politics they appear to embody. These are master narratives of contemporary criticism, and each leads to a different understanding of what art is and does. Both a cogent overview of the state of thinking about art and a challenge to think outside the art historical box, Master Narratives and their...

Renaissance Theory presents an animated conversation among art historians about the optimal ways of conceptualizing Renaissance art, and the links between Renaissance art and contemporary art and theory.
