This transnational collection discusses the use of Native American imagery in twentieth and twenty-first-century European culture. With examples ranging from Irish oral myth, through the pop image of Indians promulgated in pornography, to the philosophical appropriations of Ernst Bloch or the European far right, contributors illustrate the legend of "the Indian."

ISBN: 9781443842198 / Angielski / Twarda / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Feminist art and theoretical aspects of feminism are linked via a unique and reciprocal bond whose influence extends far beyond their own bounds into the social, cultural, political and economic realms, as well as into the personal lives of women and men alike.

In response to these events, large...

Systems We Have Loved: Conceptual Art, Affect, and the Antihumanist Turn
ISBN: 9780226007885 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By the early 1960s, theorists like Levi-Strauss, Lacan, Foucault, and Barthes had created a world ruled by signifying structures and pictured through the grids of language, information, and systems. Artists soon followed, turning to language and its related forms to devise a new, conceptual approach to art making. Examining the ways in which artists shared the structuralist devotion to systems of many sorts, "Systems We Have Loved" shows that even as structuralism encouraged the advent of conceptual art, it also raised intractable problems that artists were forced to confront.Considering such...

Simulating the Marvellous: Psychology - Surrealism - Postmodernism
ISBN: 9780719088827 / Angielski / Twarda / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents important new research on Surrealism and the culture from which it arose. It offers a fresh interpretation of Surrealist art and literature based around the theme of simulation. As the book shows, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, simulation arose in a number of discrete contexts, in relation to hysteria and war neuroses, but more broadly it shadows the emergence of our concept of 'the unconscious'.
Acknowledging simulation's relevance to Surrealism, this book argues, radically alters our understanding of their project and the terms in which one...
