Book Synopsis


Trade Review

Metzger demonstrates that artworks can be vessels that cut pathways through surface representations and move us with the undercurrents of our global networks: art offers us the experience of sensing the world in ways that release us from the script of a totalizing representational system. The Chinese Atlantic contributes to a growing body of scholarship dedicated to exploring the role of aesthetics and cultural production in the totalizing representational system of liberal humanism.
