Structured as an alternative guide to Rome, the book represents an interdisciplinary approach to creating a dynamic visual history that brings into view facets of the city?s diverse contemporary character. Thormod demonstrates that when artists successfully reconfigure Rome they provide us with visions that, being anchored in a present, undermine the connotations of permanence and immovability that cling to the ?Eternal City? epithet. Looking at the work of these artists, the reader is invited to engage critically with the question: what is Rome today? ? or perhaps better: what can Rome be? 410 0$aSpatial Practices$v29. 606 $aArt, Modern$y20th century$xThemes, motives 606 $aArt, Modern$y21st century$xThemes, motives 606 $aVisitors, Foreign$xPsychology 606 $aArtists$xPsychology 607 $aRome (Italy)$vIn art 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArt, Modern$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aArt, Modern$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aVisitors, Foreign$xPsychology. 615 0$aArtists$xPsychology. 676 $a709.04 700 $aThormod$b Kaspar$f1984-$01067999 702 $aBal$b Mieke$f1946- 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511808903321 996 $aArtistic reconfigurations of Rome$92552376 997 $aUNINA
