Why did the history of art come into being? Is it now in danger of slipping into obsolescence? And, if so, should we care?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWriting Art History\u003c\/i\u003e, Margaret Iversen and Stephen Melville address these questions by exploring some assumptions at the discipline's foundation. Their project is to excavate the lost continuities between philosophical aesthetics, contemporary theory, and art history through close readings of figures as various as Michael Baxandall, Martin Heidegger, Jacques Lacan, and Alois Riegl. Ultimately, the authors propose that we might reframe the questions concerning art history by asking what kind of writing might help the discipline to better imagine its actual practices-and its potential futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Iversen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226388267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargaret Iversen \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of the history of art at the University of Essex and author of \u003ci\u003eBeyond Pleasure: Freud, Lacan, Barthes\u003c\/i\u003e, among other titles. \u003cb\u003eStephen Melville \u003c\/b\u003eis professor emeritus of the history of art at Ohio State University and author of \u003ci\u003eSeams: Art as Philosophical Context \u003c\/i\u003eand other works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45267800260723,"sku":"9780226388267","price":63.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_678d873d-02bc-446e-bb78-3c285e987088.jpg?v=1784637647","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/writing-art-history-disciplinary-departures-9780226388267","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
