This text probes the psychic and social roots of artistic scenarios
of loss. Demonstrating that artistic activity is inextricably
bonded to imaginary scripts of bereavement and these in turn to
patterns of social dominance, the author argues in favor of an
"aesthetics of lessness" that is, postmodern resistance to
imaginary inscriptions of grief and their misogynist sequels. The
book draws on psychoaesthetics, discourse theory and feminist
social critiques to analyse literary visual figurations of loss.
Included in its analysis of the romantic and post-romantic
imaginary are readings of Merimee, Nerval, Hoffmann, H.D., Anne
Hebert, Proust and Beckett, and essays, among others, on Kollwitz,
Glacometti, Bellmer, Klee, Gidal and Oulton.
