Summary
"The essays gathered in this book are the result of a historical-anthropological observation: after the crisis in narration, carefully analyzed in the past by Francois Lyotard, we confront ourselves today with the tendency, in contemporary artistic creation characterized by expression, of discourse re-invention efforts." "All the artists selected in this book represent the change of paradigm in the late sixties and seventies from late-modern formalism towards the challenge of new narrative. In this sense they are "forefathers" of the young artist generation."--BOOK JACKET.
