Product Description
Book Description
Griselda Pollock, in seeking to understand her own paradoxical role as critic and historian, has established not only a social and historical framework for her practice, but also a self-critical one. Internationally renowned, Pollock is recognised as a significant writer on art and arguably the most important voice in feminist art history in Britain as well as a significant force in the area of cultural studies. In this selection of recent essays, Pollock insightfully engages all major areas of contemporary theory, especially focusing on sexed subjectivities, post-colonialism and Marxist-informed history. In her commentary, Penny Florence places Pollock's critique of modernism, art history, and criticism within the context of the social, political, and ideological developments that have taken place since the 1970s. Florence recognises in Pollock's work a critical model that moves beyond the contradictions that take place within the history of art. Pollock's own essays and Florence's commentary elaborate the complexities in evaluating this prominent theorist and feminist, whose work demands a capacity to sustain contradiction.
