Summary:A comparative study of selected works by Irena Lagator Pejovic and Christine de Pizan with an introduction by Mis ko S uvakovic and an afterword by Elke KrasnyAt the heart of this text-picture volume are two outstanding artistic works, Irena Lagator Pejovic's Knowledge of the Limited Responsibility Society (2009-) and Christine de Pizan's Livre de la cité des dames [The Book of the City of Ladies] (ca. 1405), both focusing on female city-building.In her approach, Monika Leisch-Kiesl compares the relationship of ethics and aesthetics in the artistic and scientific practices of Renaissance writer Christine de Pizan and contemporary visual artist Irena Lagator Pejovic.An introduction by Mis ko S uvakovic undertakes a journey into an exciting rebus of books and cities spanning two different historical epochs and ecopolitical constellations; an afterword by Elke Krasny provides a feminist reflection on the ethics of urban responsibility under the conditions of capital.
