"There exists a series of contemporary artists who continually defy the traditional role of the artist/author, including Art & Language, Guerrilla Girls, Bob and Roberta Smith, Marvin Gaye Chetwynd and Lucky PDF. In Death of the Artist, Nicola McCartney explores their work and uses previously unpublished interviews to provoke a vital and nuanced discussion about contemporary artistic authorship. How do emerging artists navigate intellectual property or work collectively and share the recognition? How might a pseudonym aid 'artivism'? Most strikingly, she demonstrates how an alternative identity can challenge the art market and is symptomatic of greater cultural and political rebellion. As such, this book exposes the art world's financially incentivised infrastructures, but also examines how they might be reshaped from within. In an age of cuts to arts funding and forced self-promotion, this offers an important analysis of the pressing need for the artistic community to construct new ways to reinvent itself and incite fresh responses to its work."--Provided by publisher

Using Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's concept of the rhizome, Neil Campbell shows how the West (or west-ness) continually breaks away from a mainstream notion of American "rootedness" and renews and transforms itself in various cultural forms. A region long traversed by various transient peoples (from tribes and conquerors to immigrants, traders, and trappers), the West reflects a mythic quest for settlement, permanence, and synthesis-even notions of a national or global identity-at odds with its rootless history, culture, and nature.

In Education as Mutual Translation , the author recounts recent research conducted at a UK Art School, then examines and applies Hindu Vedantist (Ancient Indian) and Yoruba (West African) philosophical concepts of self and mutuality with others to an environment that expects high levels of individuality. Yoruba and Vedantic analyses of mind are shown to have startling resonance with each other, with Paulo Freire’s critical consciousness, and Ronald Barnett’s student being. Placing these sources in theoretical dialogue with each other the author proposes “critical autobiographic reflection” as a tool for locating cultural, political and ontological self; she suggests that a more resilient original voice emerges from awareness of society and community than from individualism, and that genuine pedagogic exchange changes student, tutor, and the work of both.

"Why did Roman portrait statues, famed for their individuality, repeatedly employ the same body forms? The complex issue of the Roman copying of Greek 'originals' has so far been studied primarily from a formal and aesthetic viewpoint. Jennifer Trimble takes a broader perspective, considering archaeological, social historical and economic factors, and examines how these statues were made, bought and seen. To understand how Roman visual replication worked, Trimble focuses on the 'Large Herculaneum Woman' statue type, a draped female body particularly common in the second century CE and surviving in about two hundred examples, to assess how sameness helped to communicate a woman's social identity. She demonstrates how visual replication in the Roman Empire thus emerged as a means of constructing social power and articulating dynamic tensions between empire and individual localities"--

La Grande Guerre, par la profonde modernité de sa violence et par son ampleur, paraît avoir redessiné les contours de la plupart des identités de son temps. Les expériences brutales de mixité sociale, la soumission à un pouvoir fort et centralisé, l'exaspération de la haine de l'ennemi ou la découverte d'une violence déshumanisante ont conduit à autant de bouleversements majeurs dans la manière de se percevoir et d'appréhender l'altérité, qu'elle soit amie ou ennemie. Inévitablement, ces mutations ont occasionné des répercussions sur les arts, qui durent non seulement accueillir et repenser ces nouvelles identités, mais aussi chercher les moyens de les influencer politiquement et moralement - en renouvelant parfois, à cette fin, leurs outils et techniques. À travers une grande diversité de productions sur la guerre (marionnettes, caricatures, romans, films, bandes dessinées, etc.), cet ouvrage entend ainsi soulever la question de savoir comment les arts, loin de se présenter en simples réceptacles, devinrent de véritables fabriques des identités individuelles et collectives, de la guerre à la période contemporaine

En 1907-1908, Schoenberg compose son Deuxième Quatuor à cordes op. 10, première oeuvre atonale. Pourquoi l'a-t-il fait à ce moment-là et sur ce mode-là ? Le musicologue analyse la création comme une écriture de soi, explore la quête identitaire du compositeur et s'attache aux différents temps de cette herméneutique de la création et de la réception musicales. ©Electre 2017

This volume presents the first comprehensive academic study of the history and development of performance art in the former communist countries of Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe since the 1960s. Covering 21 countries and more than 250 artists, this text demonstrates the manner in which performance art in the region developed concurrently with the genre in the West, highlighting the unique contributions of Eastern European artists. The discussions are based on primary source material-interviews with the artists themselves. It offers a comparative study of the genre of performance art in countries and cities across the region, examining the manner in which artists addressed issues such as the body, gender, politics and identity, and institutional critique.
