{"product_id":"ethics-of-contemporary-art-theo-reeves-evison-9781501388095","title":"Ethics of Contemporary Art: In the Shadow of Transgression","description":"What happens when the shock of artistic transgression wears off, when scandal dissipates, when outrage becomes a tired routine? In this original new book, Theo Reeves-Evison argues that transgressive art no longer succeeds on its own terms in societies where language, prohibition and morality have become increasingly malleable. This compels us to rethink the relationship between contemporary art and ethics, and focus our attention on the potential of artworks to propose new values rather than simply challenge pre-existing moral codes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAssembling a novel theoretical framework from the writings of F駘ix Guattari, Jacques Lacan and others, \u003ci\u003eEthics of Contemporary Art\u003c\/i\u003enarrates a journey away from transgression towards a new critical paradigm for the relationship between ethics and aesthetics that places questions of subjectivity centre stage. Along the way artworks by Kader Attia, Artur Zmijewski, Dora Garcia and others serve as springboards launching discussions of the varied pathways along which a renewed ethics of contemporary art might develop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theo Reeves-Evison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501388096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501388095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Theo Reeves-Evison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073717170431,"sku":"9781501388095","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1a1a86a-2573-4dbb-9a0d-e07d2cab7355.jpg?v=1685449486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ethics-of-contemporary-art-theo-reeves-evison-9781501388095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
