Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Since the 1960s, visual art practices - from body art to minimalism - have taken contemporary art outside the museum and gallery, by embracing theatricality and performance and exploding the boundaries set by traditional art criticism. Such practices prompt us to reassess our ways of contructing meaning from art, making us receptive to the element of performance both in the processes of art production, and in the act of interpretation itself. Performing the Body/Performing the Text explores the new performativity in art theory and practice, examining ways of rethinking interpretive processes in visual culture. This collection undertakes two parallel projects: exploring art practices which perform the subject, and examining ways in which modes of performativity in contemporary art offers new models for interpreting artworks. Demonstrating how modernist art criticism attempts to fix the work with more stable sets of aesthetic meanings, the contributors argue that interpretation needs to be recognised as much more dynamic and contingent. It does not come `naturally' at the moment of contact with the artwork, but is worked out as an ongoing, open performance between artists and spectators, with meaning circulating fluidly in the complex web of connections between artists, patrons, collectors, and between both specialised and non-specialised viewers within the arena of encounter. Offering its own performance script, and embracing both canonical `fine' artists such as Manet, De Kooning and Jasper Johns, and performance artists such as Vito Acconci, Gunter Brus and the Sacred Naked Nature Girls, Performing the Body/Performing the Text offers radical re-readings of art works and points confidently towards new models for understanding art.
The essays in this volume explore those aspects of Kant's writings
which concern issues in the philosophy of mind. These issues are
central to any understanding of Kant's critical philosophy and they
bear upon contemporary discussions in the philosophy of mind.
Fourteen specially written essays address such questions as: What
role does mental processing play in Kant's account of intuition?
What kinds of empirical models can be given of these operations? In
what sense, and in what ways, are intuitions object-dependent? How
should we understand the nature of the imagination? What is inner
sense, and what does it mean to say that time is the form of inner
sense? Can we cognize ourselves through inner sense? How do we
self-ascribe our beliefs and what role does self-consciousness play
in our judgments? Is the will involved in judging? What kind of
knowledge can we have of the self? And what kind of knowledge of
the self does Kant proscribe? These essays showcase the depth of
Kant's writings in the philosophy of mind, and the centrality of
those writings to his wider philosophical project. Moreover, they
show the continued relevance of Kant's writings to contemporary
debates about the nature of mind and self.
