Reviews

This collection gives fresh and exciting readings of various historical figures and insights into contemporary ethical issues. The concern for the connection between aesthetics and ethics is one of the most important theoretical issues in contemporary theoretical debates. As Glowacka and Boos indicate, a pressing concern for contemporary theory and representation or artistic practice is how to represent or present the other without doing violence. The editors have put the collection together in a way that it speaks to many of the issues at the center of debates over representing otherness. - Kelly Oliver, State University of New York at Stony Brook
