Description

This survey of 20th-century arts and ideas identifies underlying epistemological, aesthetic and ethical issues, and draws connections among such modern and postmodern masterpieces as Pirandello's and Brecht's theatre, Fowles's and Barth's fiction, Warhol's paintings, Godard's and Bergman's films, and Derrida's literary theory. Drawing from the works of Pirandello and Brecht, paradigms that can be applied to many different art forms, Gaggi emphasizes how works from diverse media relate to one another and what their relationships are to the contemporary artistic and philosophical climate. He concentrates on the works themselves, but examines theory as a parallel manifestation of the same obsessions that inform recent literature and art.
