{"product_id":"extreme-beauty-james-swearingen-9780826460103","title":"Extreme Beauty","description":"What do we mean when we speak of \"beauty\"? What do we experience? Beauty is no longer the human experience of the harmonious object; today an aesthetics of difference has revolutionised our ways of seeing the beautiful. Now, we live in a time of \"extreme beauty.\" Extreme Beauty explores art, literature, politics, and philosophy in order to illuminate how the concept and experience of beauty has changed. The essays range from Hegel and Modernism to Marcel Duchamp and the Avant-Garde, postmodern poetics, boredom and Proust, the romance of Arendt and Heidegger, fascism and the consumption of the flesh, postcolonialism and imagination to Derrida and the glory and gift of death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Swearingen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826460100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826460103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Athlone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.36w x 0.78d","brand":"James Swearingen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086998450431,"sku":"9780826460103","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa02dd0d-663d-437e-be7a-ad7f48265948.jpg?v=1769097720","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/extreme-beauty-james-swearingen-9780826460103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
