Current theoretical and artistic discourses have been seeking access to the world independently of man by focusing on the nonhuman other. The contributors to this volume examine the historical, philosophical and scientific findings that generate this idea. In what way are such perspectives manifest in contemporary art? Do artists develop a particular approach that enables nonhuman life forms like plants, insects or animals to have an impact?Image SeriesAnker/Flach (eds.), The Cultures of EntanglementOn Nonhuman Life Forms in Contemporary ArtArtArt HistoryArt TheoryPosthumanismAnthropoceneHuman-Animal StudiesEcocriticismObject-Oriented Ontology (OOO)NatureTheory of ArtVisual StudiesEuropean ArtAmerican ArtFine ArtsArtArt HistoryArt TheoryPosthumanismAnthropoceneHuman-Animal StudiesEcocriticismObject-Oriented Ontology (OOO)NatureTheory of ArtVisual StudiesEuropean ArtAmerican ArtFine Arts709Anker Suzanne<p>Suzanne Anker, Visual Artist, Österreich</p>edtFlach Sabine<p>Sabine Flach, Universität Graz, Österreich</p>edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911116828403321The Cultures of Entanglement4795970UNINA
