Performance and Spectatorship in Edwardian Art Writing

En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on Edwardian art writing, this book examines how it influenced embodied and performative aesthetic experiences. It advocates for a broader definition of art writing by incorporating a range of critical and fictional texts often overlooked in art history. Employing a phenomenological-semiotic approach, it analyzes the intersections of spectatorship theory and practice across various Edwardian contexts, including galleries and theatre. Ultimately, it reconsiders Edwardian culture, highlighting the complexity and self-awareness of viewing practices during a time typically linked to formalism.
