Recenzii
Pain and Politics in Postwar Feminist Art is a timely account of the aesthetics and ethics of pain as a physical, social, and psychic force. Warriner's richly contextual analysis presents a compelling new picture of the work of Spero and of pain as a crucial subject and strategy for feminist and anti-war art and activism.
Pain and Politics in Postwar Feminist Art not only offers a fresh take on the work of Nancy Spero, but a methodological intervention in the study of political art. The focus on pain offers a framework for understanding empathy, representation and affect, while Warriner's close attention to the psychic, the embodied and the social give much needed nuance to the feminist refrain the "personal is political".
