Deconstruction and the Work of Art

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the paradox of the "work of art," this book re-evaluates the definitions of "work," "art," and "the aesthetic" through the lens of deconstructionist philosophy. It argues that Derrida's insights provide clarity on key issues within contemporary visual arts, challenging traditional interpretations and prompting a deeper understanding of artistic discourse. The exploration aims to shed light on the complexities inherent in defining art in modern contexts.
