Description
In an exciting range of original responses to Nancy's work, these 12 essays reanimate the dialogue between interdisciplinary scholars and practicing artists that originally gave birth to visual culture as a field of study. A new translation of Nancy's essay, 'The Image: Mimesis and Methexis', reveals how Nancy's work informs, challenges and inspires our encounters with visual culture.

At once mind-blowing and serious, the work of philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy stands with the giants of our era. This volume offers a necessary aerial view of his thought on art, with astute essays and an excellent introduction that will orient inhabitants of the art and critical worlds we share and are shattered by. -- Avital Ronell, New York University & European Graduate School, Switzerland
