| Description: |
This is the first book to offer an accessible account of Agamben's work in relation to visual culture. Agamben Reframed discusses Agamben's ideas in relation to fine art - including works by Susan Hiller and Gordon Cheung - and examples from popular culture - such as zombies, science-fiction cinema and The Hunger Games book and film. |
| Synopsis: |
One of the most influential living cultural theorists, Georgio Agamben's ideas continue to engage and trouble students, for whom he is an ever more vital part of the theoretical terrain. Posing, since the 1970s, fundamental questions about the role of art in society, Agamben has argued that both need transformation, yet is often misrepresented through narrow critical focus on his theories of Bare Life. Agamben Reframed is the first book to offer an accessible account of the philosopher's work in relation to visual culture. Seeking a sustained encounter between contemporary art and Agamben's world of critical ideas, Dan Smith examines works that mirror its extreme and challenging topography. |
