MOXEY KeithThe practice of persuasion : paradox &#38; power in art historyIthaca ; Londres : Cornelle University press, 2011, XII-146 p.ISBN 0-8014-8675-0MOND 514Résumé :This sequel to The practice of theory stresses the continued need for self-reflective awareness in art historical writing. Offering a series of meditations on the discipline of art history in the context of contemporary critical theory, Moxey addresses such central issues as the status of the canon, the nature of aesthetic value, and the character of historical knowledge. The chapters are linked by a common interest in, even fascination with, the paradoxical power of narrative and the identity of the authorial voice.Keith Moxey is Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Art History at Barnard College and Columbia University.
