Author: Frank Fehrenbach, Matthew Vollgraff (eds.)
This title responds to recent reconsiderations of the relationships between art and nature, animacy and agency. 'Expression' evokes traditional oppositions of mind and body, subject and object, nature and culture. With multidisciplinary approaches ranging from art and film history to philosophy and the history of science, the texts in this volume reimagine expression beyond the anthropocentric categories of an inherited 'naturalistic' world-picture. These dichotomies have recently been called into question by 'new' materialisms, relational ontologies and perspectival cosmologies. The historical and theoretical manifestations of the 'expressive' provide new insights into the manifold interconnections and mutual integrations of biological, aesthetic and psychological knowledge.
ISBN 9783110619621. Birkhauser Verlag. hb. 288 pages. 40 b/w, 8 colour ills. 24 x 17 cm.
