Fugitive Time

Global Aesthetics and the Black Beyond

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Matthew Omelsky theorizes the embodied experience of time in twentieth- and twenty-first-century black art to outline the distinct utopian desire directed at the moment when pain vanishes from the body and mind, bringing with it a form of being that is free of the violence that has consumed blackness.
