Description from the seller
A major reference work in the history of contemporary art and political philosophy.
Catalogue of the historical exhibition at the Jeu de Paume (18 October 2016 – 15 January 2017).
Georges Didi-Huberman is a philosopher, art historian, and director of studies at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS). A major figure in aesthetics and contemporary thought.
The author interrogates desire and disobedience, the tracts and the barricades, the affects and political imagination. With him, the reader tries to understand, beyond images, what the uprisings themselves owe to images.
This work concerns the theme of human gestures that lift up the world or rise against it: collective or individual gestures, gestures of action or passion, of works or thoughts.
Social unrest
- Political agitation
- Noncompliance
- Insurrections
- Revolts
- Revolutions
- Uproars
- Riots
- Upheavals of all kinds
Visual corpus:
From Goya's engravings to contemporary installations, paintings, photographs, documents, videos, and films, the book presents a wide iconography that spans several centuries of representations of popular uprisings.
This book is a genuine work of reflection on the notion of uprising, with about a hundred pages written by Georges Didi-Huberman, complemented by essays by major contemporary thinkers:
. Nicole Brenez (film theorist)
. Judith Butler (American philosopher, gender theorist)
. Marie-José Mondzain (philosopher, director of research at CNRS)
. Antonio Negri (Italian Marxist philosopher)
. Jacques Rancière (French philosopher)
The work resonates particularly with 21st-century social movements (the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, the Yellow Vests, Black Lives Matter, etc.).
In summary:
This book represents one of the most important exhibition catalogs of the 2010-2020 decade.
It represents a safe investment for collectors of works on the philosophy of art and visual political history.
- Number of pages: 420
