In challenging this latter claim, Seeing Differently critically examines how and why we \"identify\" works of art with an expressive subjectivity, noting the impossibility of claiming we are \"post-identity\" given the persistence of beliefs in art discourse and broader visual culture about who the subject \"is,\" and offers a new theory of how to think this kind of identification in a more thoughtful and self-reflexive way.Ultimately, Seeing Differently offers a mode of thinking identification as a \"queer feminist durational\" process that can never be fully resolved but must be accounted for in thinking about art and visual culture. Queer feminist durationality is a mode of relational interpretation that affects both \"art\" and \"interpreter,\" potentially making us more aware of how we evaluate and give value to art and other kinds of visual culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51935123898656,"sku":"NEW0415543835","price":36.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/seeing-differently-a-history-and-theory-of-identification-and-the-visual-arts-0415543835","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
