商品簡介
Noting the paradox that art museums preserve history and culture by removing artifacts from their historical context and locating them in a timeless abstraction, Maleuvre (French and comparative literature, U. of California-Santa Barbara) reevaluates the concepts of historical consciousness, artistic identity, and the culture of objects in the modern period. He shows how museum culture reflects the preoccupation with history and subjectivity during the 19th and 20th centuries. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
