Description

Exploring how artists have used new technologies to represent shifting modes of subjectivity from the modern to the postmodern, this book examines the connections between aesthetics and politics in industrial and post-industrial capitalism.

The author argues that issues of self-representation are not limited to art history, but are connected to pressing questions about collective selves such as nation states on the global stage. By expanding the scope of art history to include other aspects of lived culture, this book seeks to shed new light on the ways in which we understand ourselves and our place in the world.

Published in 2006, this book offers a fresh perspective on the intersections between art, politics, and identity in contemporary society.
