{"product_id":"anti-portraiture-fiona-johnstone-9781784534127","title":"Anti-Portraiture: Challenging the Limits of the Portrait","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe portrait has historically been understood as an artistic representation of a human subject. Its purpose was to provide a visual or psychological likenesses or an expression of personal, familial or social identity; it was typically associated with the privileged individual subject of Western modernity. Recent scholarship in the humanities and social sciences however has responded to the complex nature of twenty-first century subjectivity and proffered fresh conceptual models and theories to analyse it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors to \u003ci\u003eAnti-Portraiture\u003c\/i\u003e examine subjectivity via a range of media including sculpture, photography and installation, and make a convincing case for an expanded definition of portraiture. By offering a timely reappraisal of the terms through which this genre is approached, the chapter authors volunteer new paradigms in which to consider selfhood, embodiment and representation. In doing so they further this exciting academic debate and challenge the curatorial practices and acquisition policies of museums and galleries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiona Johnstone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784534129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784534127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022","brand":"Fiona Johnstone","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48459620319487,"sku":"9781784534127","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e66ad720-8160-44ec-b797-aa32aaa16872.jpg?v=1777410839","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anti-portraiture-fiona-johnstone-9781784534127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
