Examining how recent paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations and films revisit and re-present nineteenth-century technologies, practices and events, the book’s rich interdisciplinary approach applies literary, media and linguistic theories to its analysis of visual art, alongside in-depth discussions of the Victorian inventions, concepts and narratives that they invoke. The book’s emphasis on how – and why – we represent the historical past makes its contribution particularly timely. And by drawing attention to the importance of historiography to the work of these artists, it also unravels the complicated history of History itself. This book will speak to diverse audiences including those interested in art history, visual culture, Victorian and neo-Victorian studies, as well as literature, histories of science and media, postc | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | 关键词 | Victorians; Contemporary art; Interdisciplinary; Visual cultures; Postmodernism; Historiographical | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-28493-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-28495-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-28493-9 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2023 |
