Descripció
Sumari:"From ancient mythology to today's cinema, the motif of the double-which repeats, duplicates, mirrors, inverts, splits, and reenacts-has captured our imaginations. The Double examines this intriguing concept from four perspectives: Seeing Double, Reversal, Dilemma, and the Divided and Doubled Self. Thought-provoking essays consider the double in terms of ethics, psychoanalysis, double consciousness, the queer double, and the doppelgänger in silent cinema. Examples of the double abound through modern and contemporary art, from paired paintings by Matisse and Gorky, sculptures by Rauschenberg, Horn, and Gonzalez-Torres, and photographs, videos, and mixed-media works by Arbus, Ligon, and Warhol"--Provided by publisher.
