Seeing Differently

Více o knize

Exploring the evolution of identity concepts within visual arts, this book traces the journey from early modern views of art as personal expression to the emergence of identity politics post-WWII. It highlights the historical dominance of a binary self-other model, examining influential thinkers like Hegel and the impact of 1970s identity politics. Additionally, it serves as a political critique of contemporary assertions that society has moved beyond identity, challenging the notion of a "post-identity" era in both art and political discourse.
