Description
Nots explores the complex and often contradictory nature of negativity in various fields. Mark C. Taylor examines how contrasting concepts of negativity intersect, from the religious thought of Anselm to the artistic efforts of Arakawa and Madeline Gins. Taylor's essays delve into the workings of negativity in immunology and illness, as well as its presence in postmodern culture and art. He seeks to understand the "not" as an unnameable yet irrepressible force that falls between being and nonbeing. This thought-provoking work brings together Taylor's earlier investigations with recent studies on art and architecture, offering a unique perspective on the nature of negativity.
