Reviews
"Butterfield-Rosen's strategy of examining the disposition of poses in order to contribute to histories of the self is nothing short of a brilliant, and her discussion of the trafficking between abstract concepts and concrete practices is rigorous, original, and convincing. This is an area in which the discipline of art history is in a privileged position to contribute to a broader history of ideas, and she makes skillful use of the weapons in an art historian's arsenal, including formal and iconographic analysis." --Zeynep Celik Alexander, author of Kinaesthetic Knowing: Aesthetics, Epistemology, Modern Design "Modern Art and the Remaking of Human Disposition is original, creative, erudite, soundly argued, and convincingly substantiated. It constitutes an important intervention in the history of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century European art, offering a subtle linkage between aesthetic theory and socio-psychological conceptions of selfhood."--Juliet Bellow, author of Modernism on Stage: The Ballets Russes and the Parisian Avant-Garde
