Description:
"This book explores what art can tell us about 'the self', or the sense of interiority that each of us, as separate individuals, experience. Today the 'self' is often dismissed because it seems to ignore the ways in which we are all defined by structures and categories of identity (from capitalism and the family to constructs of gender and race). Yet, as Rachel Haidu observes, our feelings that we are singular and individuated--regardless of the structures we belong to--can be intensified, deepened, and negotiated by art. Artworks not only elicit feelings in the viewer that she is profoundly herself, but some even examine how interior lives come to feel private and unique. Haidu investigates this sense of interiority through the work of six contemporary artists who consciously want to provoke the experience in viewers: painters Philip Guston and Amy Sillman; film/media artists James Coleman and Steve McQueen; and contemporary dancers/choreographers Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Yvonne Rainer"--
