Feminist Subjectivities in Fiber Art and Craft Shadows of Affect
Brand: Routledge
Description
This book interprets the fiber art and craft-inspired sculpture by eight US and Latin American women artists whose works incite embodied affective experience. Grounded in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari John Corso-Esquivel posits craft as a material act of intuition. The book provocatively asserts that fiber art—long disparaged in the wake of the high–low dichotomy of late Modernism—is in fact well-positioned to lead art at the vanguard of affect theory and twenty-first-century feminist subjectivities. | Feminist Subjectivities in Fiber Art and Craft Shadows of Affect
