By tracing the web of correspondences between Smithson and science fictional, speculative and mystical modes of thought, Rory O’Dea explores the aesthetic encounters engendered by his art as a means to warp the contours of reality and loosen the boundaries of being human. Given the current and impending catastrophes of the Anthropocene, which represents the ever-expanding planetary shadow cast by humanism, the possibility of being other-than-human posited by Smithson’s art is a matter of urgent concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, American studies and environmental humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47305885712728,"sku":"","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032272801.jpg?v=1778509836","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/robert-smithson-land-art-and-speculative-realities","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
