{"product_id":"visual-art-and-self-construction-katrina-mitcheson-9780748693672","title":"Visual Art and Self-Construction","description":"\u003cp\u003eStarting from Nietzsche, Freud and Foucault's criticisms of a simple, given self, Katrina Mitcheson addresses the problem of how a complex self is constructed, and how a hermeneutics of the self can avoid reproducing a subjugated self. Critically examining Ricoeur's narrative account of self-construction, Mitcheson makes the case that the narrative model overlooks the variety of processes that can contribute to forming a self and neglects the materiality of these processes. She develops an alternative account of a plural and corporeal hermeneutics of the self: exploring how visual art can operate as a critical technology of the self. Art not only exposes practices that contribute to our subjugation, but can also discover, explore and affect bodily processes, enabling experimentation in self-construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katrina Mitcheson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 074869367X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780748693672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Katrina Mitcheson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983036481791,"sku":"9780748693672","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e475f12d-e1de-4658-8b7e-771812b11b14.jpg?v=1683264322","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visual-art-and-self-construction-katrina-mitcheson-9780748693672","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
