Art Treatments & Subjects

Series: Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies

Disclosing the interconnectedness of human and nonhuman bodies, understood here as more/than/human entanglements, this book makes a crucial intervention into the ﬁeld of contemporary artistic studies, exploring how art can conceptualize material boundaries of entangled beings/doings.

Drawing on critical posthumanist and new materialist thought, in this book, nonhumans become subjects of ethics, aesthetics, and politics that produce equally relevant meanings. Designed to include multiple artistic perspectives and forms of expression, which range from sculptures to bio-art and performative practices, the book argues that we are entangled with other organisms around us not only by our socio-cultural connections but predominately by the transformations that we all undergo with the world’s materiality. Thus, the artistic works discussed do not merely reﬂect the world but transform it, oﬀering solutions for practising alternative ethical values and acting better with and for the world.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, cultural studies, media studies, body studies, performance studies, animal studies, and environmental studies.
