Baker cogently analyses the work of such European and American artists as Olly and Suzi, Mark Dion, Paula Rego and Sue Coe, at the same time looking critically at the constructions, performances and installations of Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Bourgeois, Joseph Beuys and other significant late twentieth-century artists. Baker's book draws parallels between the animal's place in postmodern art and poststructuralist theory, drawing on works as diverse as Jacques Derrida's recent analysis of the role of animals in philosophical thought and Julian Barnes's best-selling \u003ci\u003eFlaubert's Parrot\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Baker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1861890605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781861890603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Steve Baker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052589248767,"sku":"9781861890603","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3ce892c-03b6-4af7-ae99-3efafe09b87c.jpg?v=1685019673","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/postmodern-animal-steve-baker-9781861890603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
