This title was first published in 2000. Published in two volumes,
"Work and the Image" 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. With a
shared focus on the 20th century, the era of modernity and its
postmodern aftermath, the essays in this volume examine the diverse
ways in which the social relations of work in industrial societies
from both capitalist and socialist regimes were publicly and
privately mediated by changing forms of visual representation. The
authors discuss traditional analyses of the image of the worker in
the light of contemporary critical theories that address the
question of the subjectivity of the worker in relation to class,
gender, nationhood and the concept of modernity.
