Essays by writers, historians, curators and artists, plus diary extracts of a sex worker, engage with a range of artistic practices, including performance, digital media, painting, sculpture and installation. Together the contributors examine the contradictions and ambivalences embedded in the Japanese experience of modernity, and the effects of commodification on the individual and the nation state. Sex and consumerism in art are inextricably linked to issues of power, gender, class and race, and move beyond the gallery into private and public realms, where the complex relationships surrounding sexuality and commerce are directly encountered in both the fast-changing marketplace and in the dominant ideologies within Japanese society.With over 150 intriguing illustrations, Consuming Bodies provides a wide-ranging perspective on an under-researched area of contemporary Japanese art practice and the critical issues it uncovers.</div>]]> 264196 3.40 5 0 2004 2146859 0713474025 9780713474022 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2146859.Deconstructing_Madonna 5.00 1 264196 3.40 5 0 1994 471860 1860645992 9781860645990 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175037344m/471860.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175037344s/471860.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/471860.Contemporary_Arab_Women_s_Art_Dialogues_of_the_Present 3.00 1 264196 3.40 5 0 2002 6624972 0856676756 9780856676758 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6624972-subtlety-and-strength 0.0 0 This richly illustrated study is the first on the subject and complements the first ever Gordine Retrospective Exhibition, as well as the wide-ranging monograph Dora Gordine: Artist, Sculptor, Designer.
