Beschreibung
This book focuses on the collaboration of Derrida, Lyotard, Hillis Miller, and others at the Critical Theory Institute at UC Irvine and on critical theory as a methodology for the analysis of contemporary American visual art of Nauman, Kosuth, Burden, Christo, Johns, Rauschenberg, and others. It also includes a Prologue by Georges van Den Abbeele.
This book is unique in both its subject matter and its approach. It focuses on the collaboration of J. Derrida, J.-F. Lyotard, J. Hillis Miller, D. Carroll, F. Jameson and others at the Critical Theory Institute at the University of California, Irvine and on the application of critical theory for the analysis of contemporary American visual art. The critical and philosophical analysis concerns the art of Bruce Nauman, Kosuth, Burden, Christo, Wodiczko, Johns, Rauschenberg, and others. The focus of the book is on irony and the sublime.
The book also includes the original Prologue by G. van Den Abbeele (Dean of the School of Humanities at UC Irvine 2013-2018) on the history of Critical Theory in the United States, and at UCI, in particular. The CTI’s uniqueness consisted in it being one of the best centers of the Critical Theory studies in the United States.
