{"product_id":"9780860917557","title":"Readings and Writings : Semiotic Counter-Strategies","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe films of Hitchcock, Welles and Godard; the aesthetics of photography and the technology of cinema; art and revolution in Russia and in Mexico; the avant-gardes in film and in painting-these are among the many topics of Peter Wollen's essays. Interwoven with fictional treatments of such themes as memory, dream, sexuality and writing, they compose a remarkable, perhaps unique, volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese \"readings and writings\" are informed by Marxism, semiotics, psychoanalysis, and the history of art itself. Their concern is with signification: with the ways in which meanings are produced in dominant art forms and with the counter-strategies by which these meanings may be questioned or dislodged, in the practice of politically and aesthetically radical alternatives. A concluding retrospect reviews the political, intellectual and aesthetic avant-garde currents of the fifteen years over which these texts were written, outlining some perspectives for oppositional art today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45382295126095,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":873.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780860917557","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
