Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Western art has long sought to find a perfect method of representing the body.

Re-Enchantment
ISBN: 9780415960519 / Angielski / Twarda / 321 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) 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...
