{"product_id":"the-explicit-body-in-performance","title":"The Explicit Body in Performance","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Explicit Body in Performance interrogates the avant-garde precedents and theoretical terrain that combined to produce feminist performance art. Among the many artists discussed are:  Carolle Schneemann  Annie Sprinkle  Karen Finley  Robbie McCauley  Ana Mendieta  Ann Magnuson  Sandra Bernhard  Spiderwoman Rebecca Schneider tackles topics ranging across the post-porn modernist movement  New Right censorship  commodity fetishism  perspectival vision  and primitivism. Employing diverse critical theories from Benjamin to Lacan to postcolonial and queer theory  Schneider analyses artistic and pop cultural depictions of the explicit body in late commodity capitalism. The Explicit Body in Performance is complemented by extensive photographic illustrations and artistic productions of postmodern feminist practitioners. The book is a fascinating exploration of how these artists have wrestled with the representational structures of desire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44958035705909,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415090261","price":29.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415090261.jpg?v=1770361219","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-explicit-body-in-performance","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
