James Meyer's survey text explores four modes of doubling: Seeing Double through repetition; Reversal, the inversion or mirroring of an image or form; Dilemma, the staging of an absurd or impossible choice; and the Divided and Doubled Self (split and shadowed selves, personae, fraternal doubles, and pairs). Thought-provoking essays by leading scholars Julia Bryan-Wilson, Tom Gunning, W.J.T. Mitchell, Hillel Schwartz, Shawn Michelle Smith, and Andrew Solomon discuss a host of topics, including the ontology and ethics of the double, the double and psychoanalysis, double consciousness, the doppelg舅ger in silent cinema, and the queer double. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichly illustrated throughout, \u003ci\u003eThe Double\u003c\/i\u003e is a multifaceted exploration of an enduring theme in art, from painting and sculpture to photography, film, video, and performance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNational Gallery of Art, Washington, DC\u003cbr\u003eJuly 10-October 31, 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691236178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691236179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.71h x 8.03w x 1.18d","brand":"James Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054357311743,"sku":"9780691236179","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07db2e83-75ed-46de-8283-16a11adea7c8.jpg?v=1685029493","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-double-james-meyer-9780691236179","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
