Importantly, they both examine and enact ventriloqual practices, and do so as a means of interrogating and performatively bearing out contemporary conceptions of authorship, subjectivity, and performance. Put otherwise, the chapters in this book oscillate seamlessly between art history, theory, and criticism through both analytical and performative means. Across twelve essays on ventriloquism in contemporary art, the authors, who are curators, historians, and artists, shine light on this outdated practice, repositioning it as a conspicuous and meaningful trend within a range of artistic practices today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, media studies, performance, museum\/curatorial studies, and theater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40853776728161,"sku":"9781032304762","price":44.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/d853bc7dc0e949b74c7defa8e44a5c6e.png?v=1685605490","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032304762-ventriloquism-performance-contemporary","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
