{"product_id":"9781138246683","title":"Francesca Woodman and the Kantian Sublime","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn her feminist inquiry into aesthetics and the sublime, Claire Raymond reinterprets the work of the American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958-1981). Placing Woodman in a lineage of women artists beginning with nineteenth-century photographers Julia Margaret Cameron and Clementina, Viscountess Hawarden, Raymond compels a reconsideration of Woodman's achievement in light of the gender dynamics of the sublime. Raymond argues that Woodman's photographs of decrepit architecture allegorically depict the dissolution of the frame, a dissolution Derrida links to theories of the sublime in Kant's Critique of Judgement. Woodman's self-portraits, Raymond contends, test the parameters of the gaze, a reading that departs from the many analyses of Woodman's work that emphasize her dramatic biography. Woodman is here revealed as a conceptually sophisticated artist whose deployment of allegory and allusion engages a broader debate about Enlightenment aesthetics, and the sublime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49123702571235,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781138246683-1.jpg?v=1788372758","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781138246683","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
