In this essential new addition to James Elkins's series \u003cem\u003eTheories of Modernism and Postmodernism in the Visual Arts\u003c\/em\u003e, Richard Shiff embraces doubt as a critical tool and asks how particular histories of art have come to be. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShiff's turn to doubt is not a retreat to relativism, but rather an insistence on clear thinking about art. In particular, Shiff takes issue with the style of self-referential art writing seemingly 'licensed' by Roland Barthes. With an introduction by Rosie Bennett, \u003cem\u003eDoubt\u003c\/em\u003e is a study of the tension between practicing art and practicing criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Shiff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415973082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415973083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.45h x 5.84w x 0.66d","brand":"Richard Shiff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086675194111,"sku":"9780415973083","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2854a338-19d1-41a7-bb0f-66a6e72f0ff3.jpg?v=1769095959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/doubt-richard-shiff-9780415973083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
