Utilizing these interdisciplinary methodologies, Nettleton argues that while inducing anxiety regarding traditional humanist structures, the \"artist-animal,\" an embodiment of artistic liberation within an urban setting, is, at the same time, a paradigmatic trope of modernity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claire Nettleton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030193446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030193447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Claire Nettleton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089053397247,"sku":"9783030193447","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5fcc359f-a418-4dc1-b995-61ca2dd00087.jpg?v=1769107937","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-artist-as-animal-in-claire-nettleton-9783030193447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
