Haidu looks to intergenerational pairings of artists to consider how three aesthetic vehicles--shape in painting, characters in film and video, and roles in dance--allow us to grasp selfhood. Better understandings of our selves, she argues, complement our thinking about identity and subjecthood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e She shows how Philip Guston's figurative works explore shapes' descriptive capacities and their ability to investigate history, while Amy Sillman's paintings allow us to rethink expressivity and oneness. Analyzing a 2004 video by James Coleman, Haidu explores how we enter characters through their interior monologues, and she also looks at how a 2011 film by Steve McQueen positions a protagonist's refusal to speak as an argument for our right to silence. In addition, Haidu examines how Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker's distribution of roles across dancers invites us to appreciate formal structures that separate us from one another while Yvonne Rainer's choreography shows how such formal structures also bring us together. Through these examples, \u003ci\u003eEach One Another\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how artworks allow us to understand oneness, interiority, and how we become fluid agents in the world, and it invites us to examine--critically and forgivingly--our attachments to selfhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Haidu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226823415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226823416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Rachel Haidu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44190741430527,"sku":"9780226823416","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d6e88c0-5ace-48a4-b22f-7ecffa213d81.jpg?v=1690872109","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/each-one-another-rachel-haidu-9780226823416","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
