In France, debates centre on the status and possibilities of the image. Éric Alliez, Georges Didi-Huberman, Elisabeth Lebovici and Jacques Rancière, each adopt a competing approach to the making, undoing and remaking of aesthetic images in contemporary art and their political significance. From Italy, Antonio Negri, Maurrizio Lazzarato, Judith revel and Franco Berardi each address the immaterial situation of contemporary art in a distinctive way. From Germany, Peter Sloterdijk, Peter Weibel and Boris Groys reassess the contemporary legacy of post-war art, demonstrating distinctive appropriations of vitalism, structuralism and deconstruction, respectively.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tate Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34575108800676,"sku":"BK-TAT-SOA-001-A","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/products\/IMG_6713.jpg?v=1664983762"},{"product_id":"the-art-of-participation","title":"The Art of Participation: 1950 to Now","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRudolf Frieling \u0026amp; Boris Groys \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover | \u003cspan\u003e20.6 x 2.8 x 26.2 cm | 212 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThames \u0026amp; Hudson | 2008 | 9780500238585\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis survey covers the rich and varied history of participatory art, from early happenings and performances to current practices that demand audience interaction.
