We have decorated them, made them up, designed them, as if the face were the true calling card of our personality, the public manifestation of our inner being. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Nothing could be further from the truth. Rather than a window opening onto our inner nature, the face has always been a technical artefact—a construction that owes as much to artificiality as to our genetic inheritance. From the origins of humanity to the triumph of the selfie, Marion Zilio charts the history of the technical, economic, political, legal, and artistic fabrication of the face. Her account of this history culminates in a radical new interrogation of what is too often denounced as our contemporary narcissism. In fact, argues Zilio, the “narcissism” of the selfie may well reconnect us to the deepest sources of the human manufacture of faces—a reconnection that would also be a chance for us to come to terms with the non-human part of ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This highly original reflection on the fabrication of the face will be of great value to students and scholars of media and culture and to anyone interested in the pervasiveness of the face in our contemporary age of the selfie.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 After the Face\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eChronicle of a Death Foretold?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 The Invention of the Face\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Optical Unconscious: Seeing Flows, Coding Faces\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGrammatization and Phenomenotechnical Synthesis\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Face as Diagram\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Proletarianization of the Face\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTrouble in Multiplicity\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 The Apparelled Face\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Default of Origin\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn Artificial Organ\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Ego-Technical Complement\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMasked Repetition\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Narcosis of Narcissus\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 The Space of Appearances\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Spectacle of Politics\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Face of the Collective: Relation or Rapport?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Politics of Publicity\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Mass Ornament\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the Mass to the Multitudes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Critique of the Political Economy of Faces From the ‘Self’ to the Relational\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the ‘Self’ to the Relational\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e#Selfie: A Contemporary Readymade?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Cryptopornography of Care\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA New Distribution of the Sensible\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Algorithmic Matrix: Ranking and Mapping of Faces\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 In the Flow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOf Dissemination?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAesthetics of the Everyday and Becoming-World\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePervasive Faces\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCouch-grass Politics, or the Ethics of the Chameleon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Thing’s Share\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of art \/ art \u0026amp; design styles [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of art \/ art \u0026amp; design styles\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20art%20\/%20art%20\u0026amp;%20design%20styles%20%5BAC%5D%22\"\u003eAC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441800212760,"sku":"9781509537259","price":42.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509537259.jpg?v=1785026103","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/faceworld-hardback-9781509537259","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
