Description: London: Routledge, 2013. 25cm., hardcover, 152pp. Summary: Art, Religion and Amnesia interrogates the fundamental assumptions fuelling many current controversies over representation, idolatry, blasphemy, and political culture. Drawing on debates on Plato to the Danish cartoons of Mohamed, Preziosi argues that recent debates have echoed a number of very ancient controversies in political philosophy, theology, and art history over the problem of representation and its functions in individual and social life. Contents: Chapter 1. Plato’s Dilemma: Art and Terror Chapter 2. Pulled Together by the Phantasm: Materialism and Immaterialism Chapter 3. Art When or Whatever Chapter 4. The (Dis)Content of the Self Chapter 5. In the Temple of Entelechy; Or, Derrida Returned to Sender.
