Reviews
""It is the great merit of this collective volume to bring together recent theoretical advances in the anthropology of art and original empirical cases from various parts of the world, so as to link in novel manner aesthetics, politics, and subjectivities."" - Didier Fassin, co-author (with Richard Retchman) of The Empire of Trauma and author of Humanitarian Reason ""It's commonplace to criticize depictions of suffering as numbing spectacle. Suffering, Art, and Aesthetics offers powerful cases of artworks in many media that capture and express the suffering of others, whether between generations or across cultures, with thoughtful care. By strategies such as privileging the ordinary, giving precedence to non-visual sensory experience, and addressing local audiences first, artworks can decelerate the transition from sensation to meaning, giving recipients time and space to feel, gradually decipher, and collectively learn from experiences of suffering."" - Laura U. Marks, Simon Fraser University, Canada
