Savage Tales
This very handsome volume—it would not disgrace a connoisseur’s accent table—is a richly illustrated study of Paul Gauguin, the painter who would also be a man of letters. In four brisk chapters, Linda Goddard re-introduces the Anglophone reader to the miscellany of Gauguin’s writings and deflates the artist’s claim that he was, after all, ‘not a writer’. A writer he was, Goddard insists, notwithstanding his protestation of being an untutored ren…
The Trial of Paul Gauguin
The painter Paul Gauguin has been the object of criticism linking him to the sins of colonial occupation and European imperialism. This essay examines the case against Gauguin. It asks the reader to examine closely the assumption that representation is necessarily a form of appropriation. The larger aim is to establish a more careful idea of the moral relation between art, especially modernist art, and reality
The Art of Civilization
Didier Maleuvre argues that works of art in Western societies from Ancient Greece to the interconnected worlds of the Digital Age have served to rationalize and normalize an engagement with bourgeois
Beyond Culture
This article is an assessment of the moral problems that beset cultural relativism, that is, the belief that the nature of human existence and value is strictly dependent on, and therefore autonomously proper to, each particular culture. According to this view, the human experience never transcends its native ground. It is, hence, no use judging one form of the human experience against another since no universal non-local yardstick exists to meas…
Art and Criticism
It has become--ironically--traditional to say that modernity hates tradition. Richard Shusterman joins an illustrious delegation of artists and philosophers (including Schelling, Nietzsche, Valéry, the Avant-Garde, the Futurists, Dewey, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty) who want to break art away from the museum and the academy. Among these fellow art liberators, Shusterman focuses especially on the great American philosopher John Dewey, who lodged perha…
Museum Memories
From its inception in the early nineteenth century, the museum has been more than a mere historical object; it has manufactured an image of history. In collecting past artifacts, the museum gives shape and presence to history, defining the space of a ritual encounter with the past. The museum believes in history, yet it behaves as though history could be summarized and completed. By building a monument to the end of history and lifting art out of…

Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1999. On closing Jacques Derrida's Monolingualism of the Other, the reader may feel satisfied that the renegade branch of philosophy is alive and well—the tradition which, since Diogenes' time, has gone cheerfully around takin…
