This is a highly original, indeed an extraordinary, book, standing
out among the conventional philosophical treatments of subject¬
ivity and reaching beyond the conventional area of investigation.
Boyne s feat is to find overlooked and unexplored angles which
recast one of the perennial and ostensibly thoroughly familiar
philosophical issues in a novel and fascinating light.
ZYGMUNT
BAUMAI
Visual culture has emerged as a central area of debate and
research in contemporary sociology, yet the field is still under-
defined. In particular, the relationship between visual culture
and the individual remains obscure.
Roy Boyne explores the relationships between visual culture,
social theory and the individual and argues that the sociological
removal of the individual subject must be chaltenged. However,
so too must humanist accounts which emphasize only struggles
for freedom and the longing to create. Individual subjects are
simultaneously engaged and disengaged. The narration of their
actions and contexts from both social and existential standpoints
is crucial for beginning to understand the human condition.
The positive critique of the two most important currents in
sociological thought today, Bourdieu s field theory and Latour s
actor network theory, is supplemented by examinations of the
presentation of the subject in both art and film. The argument
of the book, developed through case studies of Barnett Newman,
Georg Baselitz,
Francis Bacon,
Krzysztof Kieślowski
and David
Cronenberg, is that the highest aspirations of both social science
and the humanities are served by keeping together the social and
existential moments of the individual subject.
This searching and imaginative book will be essential reading for
everyone interested in social theory, contemporary art and film
studies. It will also be a key reference point for debates between
sociology and cultural studies.
Roy Boyne is Professor of Sociology at the University of Durham.
