Community and Plural Relations: A Dialogue Between Philosophers and Artists
Parachute, Dec. Fall 2000, no. 100, pp. 46-55
This article tracks the development of the meaning of the construct of community as it has changed in the 20th Century. Drawing on the philosophical and political reaction against Fascism and Identity as the Illusion of purity, Jean Ernest Joos identifies the work of several artists and how their work opens new possibilities for defining community by examining current thought around the body, relation, repetition and difference.
