Description

Explore the historical and contemporary evolution of physical suffering through the lens of art history. This volume from the Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies series examines how the presentation of bodies in pain has shaped Western art from the Greek era to the modern day. Readers will trace the connection between Christian traditions, such as the images of the Passion and martyrdom, and modern visual culture, including images from Abu Ghraib. The text also addresses the rise of the body in pain as a recurring theme within performance art over the last forty years. Building upon the foundational work of thinkers like Elaine Scarry, Susan Sontag, and Giorgio Agamben, the scholars in this collection provide new perspectives and analysis. This book is an essential resource for students and academics studying the intersection of visual culture, body politics, and art history.
