Gerhard Richter

Thinking with Adorno

The Uncoercive Gaze

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that the work of Theodor W. Adorno is best understood through the lens of his highly suggestive-yet often overlooked-concept of the "uncoercive gaze," an innovative way of relating to the object of one's analysis that interweaves critical intimacy and analytic vigilance.
