Titre(s) : Seeing degree zero [Texte imprimé] : Barthes / Burgin and political aesthetics / edited by Ryan Bishop and Sunil Manghani
Publication : Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press, copyright 2022
Description matérielle : 1 vol. (440 p.) : illustrations (black and white) ; 27 cm
Note(s) : In the fields of literature and the visual arts, 'zero degree' represents a neutral
aesthetic situated in response to, and outside of, the dominant cultural order. Taking
Roland Barthes' 1953 book Writing Degree Zero as just one starting point, this volume
examines the historical, theoretical and visual impact of the term and draws directly
upon the editors' ongoing collaboration with artist and writer Victor Burgin. The
book is composed of key chapters by the editors and Burgin, a series of collaborative
texts with Burgin and four commissioned essays concerned with the relationship between
Barthes and Burgin in the context of the spectatorship of art. It includes an in-depth
dialogue regarding Burgin's long-term reading of Barthes and a lengthy image-text,
offering critical exploration of the Image (in echo of earlier theories of the Text).
Also included are translations of two projections works by Burgin, 'Belledonne' and
'Prairie', which work alongside and inform the collected essays. Overall, the book
provides a combined reading of both Barthes and Burgin, which in turn leads to new
considerations of visual culture, the spectatorship of art and the political aesthetic.
