Summary:

An immanent turn in art history, Bergson and the Art of Immanence brings Henri Bergson's philosophy of immanence together with the latest ideas in art-theory and the practice of immanent art as found in painting, photography and film. This collection of 14 new essays from world renowned art theorists, philosophers and Bergson-scholars provides both a wide historical context and a rigorous conceptual framework for-contemporary art-theory and practice. It involves the concepts of rhythmic duration, perception, affectivity, the body, memory and intuition - all of which were given their first systematic theorisation in the twentieth century as immanent objects through the work of Bergson. The variety of perspectives and methodological approaches present new levels of exchange between art and theory and bring philosophy closer to the history of art. Book jacket.
