A renowned art critic of the 1960s, Carla Lonzi abandoned the art world in 1970 to found Rivolta Femminile, a pioneering feminist collective in Italy. Rather than separating the art world luminary from the activist, however, this book looks at the two together. It demonstrates that even as Lonzi refused art, she articulated how feminist spaces and communities drew strength from creativity. The eleven essays in this book document the artistic and feminist circles of postwar Italy, a time characterised both by radical protest and avant-garde aesthetics, using primary and archival sources never before translated into English. They map Lonzi's deep connections to the influential Italian Arte Povera movement, and explore her complicated relationship with female artists of the time, such as Carla Accardi and Suzanne Santoro. Carla Lonzi's written work and activism represents a crucial, but previously overlooked, feminist intervention in traditional art history from beyond the Anglo-American canon. This book is a timely and urgent addition to our understanding of radical politics, separatist feminism and art criticism in the postwar period.

A global survey of Pop art that reassesses its roots, impact, and legacy This groundbreaking book surveys the concurrent engagements with the spirit of Pop throughout the world, from the frequently studied activity in the United States, England, and France to less well-known developments in Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Reconciling Art and Mothering contributes a chorus of new voices to the burgeoning body of scholarship on art and the maternal and, for the first time, focuses exclusively on maternal representations and experiences within visual art throughout the world. This innovative essay collection joins the voices of practicing artists with those of art historians, acknowledging the fluidity of those categories. The twenty-five essays of Reconciling Art and Mothering are grouped into two sections, the first written by art historians and the second by artists. Art historians reflect on the work of artists addressing motherhood-including Marguerite G?rd, Chana Orloff, and Ren?Cox-from the early nineteen...
Visual Participatory Arts Based Research in the Cities maps ontological, aesthetic and ethic differences between humanist and posthumanist arts-based research, while providing insight on methodological orientations to develop arts-based research with frameworks based on process-philosophies. It is the first book on arts-based research which focuses on the city, adopting a posthumanist approach to the assembled nature of urban environments, where agency is distributed across infrastructures, technologies, spaces, things, and bodies. Chapters one to seven feature a series of studies, situated in different cities in Europe and the Americas, which outline experiences of movement, inhabitancy, in...

La història de vida de l’artista Mari Chordà Recasens, nascuda a Amposta, representa una aportació per a l’àmbit històric i social, com a activista feminista; per a l’àmbit literari, com a editora i poeta; i per a l’àmbit artístic, per la gran aportació al món visual i plàstic que ha realitzat i se li ha reconegut a museus i centres d’art nacionals i internacionals. La vida de l’artista va intrínsecament lligada a una nova etapa política representativa de grans canvis de pensament ideològic i sociològic i també a la reflexió sobre la diversitat i la inclusió de dones i homes de totes les generacions. La publicació pretén ser un donanatge, en commemoració del seu 80è aniversari.
Toujours confondus dans le sens commun, sens et signification sont pourtant des concepts distincts pour la sémiotique qui s'est inlassablement efforcée d'instruire leurs rapports mutuels. A la façon de Hjelmslev, le sens se laisse identifier au "matéria " ou au "support" grâce auquel "toute sémiotique en tant que forme se trouve manifestée". Le sens peut être aussi cette "matière" informe qui, lorsqu'elle est articulée par l'analyse, devient une signification. Il précède alors la signification mais reste, sans elle, insaisissable. Pour Kristeva, la dichotomie témoigne plutôt d'une allégeance affective du sens et du fondement cognitif de la signification. Ces quelques données ...
