Meaning and Mattering after Alfred Gell

Herausgeber: Chua, Liana; Elliott, Mark

Beschreibung

The first cross-disciplinary exploration of Art and Agency by leading scholars in their fields. Examines the reception and influence of a highly influential and still controversial theory 15 years after its publication. Includes a hitherto unpublished essay by Gell (‘The Network of Standard Stoppages’) and some of his illustrations. Juxtaposes richly argued case studies against innovative and insightful analysis.
