{"product_id":"lifework-moran-sheleg-9781526194787","title":"Lifework: On the Autobiographical Impulse in Contemporary Art, Writing, and Theory","description":"Following the critical scepticism surrounding the notion of the 'self' as a singular entity during the 1960s, many artists and writers sought to test the apparent problem posed by autobiography as both a traditional genre and as a way of working. Considering the consequent emergence of autotheory, \u003ci\u003eLifework \u003c\/i\u003etraces this shift in artistic and literary production during the late twentieth century and beyond, examining a set of diverse practices that mine the line between what it is to make art and what it is to live life. The book's chapters connect a variety of artistic strategies that cut across medium, geography and time, uncovering how the historical marginalisation of first-person experience has taken on larger social, cultural and political implications in the contemporary moment and how the work of living might still relate to the work of art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moran Sheleg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526194783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526194787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.91d","brand":"Moran Sheleg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217823052031,"sku":"9781526194787","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e68edf9-3e1e-4d04-9cbe-84d405e1b349.jpg?v=1771999683","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lifework-moran-sheleg-9781526194787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
