Overview
Counterpractice highlights a generation of women who used art to define a culture of experimental thought and practice during the period of the French women’s movement or Mouvement de Libération des Femmes (1970–81). It considers women’s art in relation to some of the most exciting thinkers to have emerged from the French literature and philosophy of the 1970s – Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva – forcing a timely reconsideration of the full spectrum of revolutionary practices by women in the years following the events of May ’68. Lavishly illustrated with over 200 images, the book also features an illuminating foreword by art historian Griselda Pollock.The book, Counterpractice: Psychoanalysis, politics and the art of French feminism (Rethinking Art's Histories) [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9781526125163 in Hardcover by Rakhee Balaram may be ordered in bulk quantities.
