Chaos, Territory, Art by Elizabeth Grosz

Chaos, Territory, Art by Elizabeth Grosz

Argues that art, especially architecture, music, and painting, is born from the disruptive forces of sexual selection. This book approaches art as a form of erotic expression that connects sensory richness with primal desire. It argues that the meaning of art comes from the intensities and sensations it inspires, not just its intention.

This wonderful and short book.. continues her recent quest of recasting Darwinian biology within a Deleuzean and Nietzschean understanding of sexual difference. -- Arun Saldanha Environment and Planning
