Seller's Description:
Used-A. 'Consuming Bodies' explores the themes of sex and consumerism in contemporary Japanese art and how they connect with the wider historical, social and political conditions in Japanese culture. Essays by writers, historians, curators and artists, plus diary extracts of a sex worker, engage with a range of artistic practices, including performance, digital media, painting, sculpture and installation. Together the contributors examine the contradictions and ambivalences embedded in the Japanese experience of modernity, and the effects of commodification on the individual and the nation state. Sex and consumerism in art are inextricably linked to issues of power, gender, class and race, and move beyond the gallery into private and public realms, where the complex relationships surrounding sexuality and commerce are directly encountered in both the fast-changing marketplace and in the dominant ideologies within Japanese society. With over 150 intriguing illustrations, 'Consuming Bodies' provides a wide-ranging perspective on an under-researched area of contemporary Japanese art practice and the critical issues it uncovers. This book is very worn and in acceptable condition. Help support Orca Books Cooperative--Olympia's only Co-op Bookstore! This book is a library discard and may have library stickers/stamps.
