Deutsche considers how art joins these radical practices to challenge desires for mastery and dominion, which are encapsulated in the Eurocentric conception of the human that goes under the name \"Man\" and is driven by deadly inclinations that Deutsche calls masculinist. The masculinist subject--as an individual or a group--universalizes itself, claims to speak on behalf of humanity, and meets differences with conquest. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Analyzing artworks by Christopher D'Arcangelo, Robert Filliou, Hans Haacke, Mary Kelly, Silvia Kolbowski, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Martha Rosler, James Welling, and Krzysztof Wodiczko, Deutsche illuminates the diverse ways in which they expose, question, and trouble the visual fantasies that express masculinist desire. Undermining the mastering subject, these artworks invite viewers to question the positions they assume in relation to others. Together, the essays in \u003ci\u003eNot-Forgetting\u003c\/i\u003e, written between 1999 and 2020, argue that this art offers a unique contribution to building a less cruel and violent society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosalyn Deutsche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226819590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226819594\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 12\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.20w x 1.30d","brand":"Rosalyn Deutsche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076437864703,"sku":"9780226819594","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d51f1942-509f-4947-8a95-5fe705307f8d.jpg?v=1685464990","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-forgetting-rosalyn-deutsche-9780226819594","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
