This title was first published in 2000. "Work and the Image",
published in two volumes, addresses a critical theme in
contemporary social and cultural debates whose place in visual
representation has been neglected. Ranging from Greek pottery to
contemporary performance, and exploring a breadth of geo-national
perspectives including those of France, Britain, Hungary, Soviet
Russia, the Ukraine, Siberia and Germany, the essays provide a
challenging reconsideration of the image of work, the meaning of
the work process, and the complex issues around artistic activity
as itself a form of work even as it offers a representation of
labour. Volume I includes interdisciplinary case studies which plot
the changing definitions of work as labour, craft, social relations
and a source of historical identity, while analyzing the role of
visual representation in their formation and transformation. The
diverse essays cover such topics as anti-slavery movements and
enunciation of workers' rights, revolutionary politics, relations
of class and gender, industrial masculinities and women's rural
sociality, unemployment and subjectivity, Stalinist aesthetics and
nationalist identities.
