Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In The Threshold of the Visible WorldKaja Silverman advances a revolutionary new political aesthetic, exploring the possibilities for looking beyond the restrictive mandates of the self, and the normative aspects of the cultural image-repertoire. She provides a detailed account of the social and psychic forces which constrain us to look and identify in normative ways, and the violence which that normativity implies.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [229]-249) and index.
