Art today is an increasingly multifaceted phenomenon; encompassing transgressive works that intervene in war; inequalities; ecological disasters; and revolutionary changes in technology. Carnal Aesthetics is a fascinating new examination of this aspect of contemporary visual culture. Employing recent theories of transgressive body imagery; trauma; affectivity and sensation; it provides a fresh look at the meeting point between the politics of representation and the politics of perception; through the prismatic lens of feminist theory.Acclaimed scholars; including Griselda Pollock; Vivian Sobchack; Laura Marks; Erin Manning; Jill Bennett; and Martine Beugnet; analyse seminal case studies coming from different media: digital photography; video; film and multimedia art. They explore a number of transgressive movements that significantly reconfigure the relationship between the body and the image; challenging also the primacy of vision.

I learned so much and I took away some sound advice. I now have so much respect for Face more than ever. He spoke very candidly about the trials and tribulations he experienced at RAP A LOT. No matter what; he still came out on top. THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. One of the G.O.A.T.S.By DaveSincereI would say Hands down the best Hip Hop autobiography Ive read.To read Brad "Scarface" Jordan book is like walking down memory lane. I was a big fan of the early Scarface.. 88-92. The work he did with Geto Boys as well as his 5 Mic Classic "Mr. Scarface is Back". NOW THAT IS WHAT HIP HOP IS ABOUT!! I remember the release date of these cassettes and I remember going to the Record Store to buy.This book offers a deeper insight into Brads life and it highlights his ups and downs many fans would not ever know. It disappoints me to read about how Lil J got over on Face who was the mainstay of Rap-A-Lot records. If you read any book on Motown you would see that theres a history of our people taking advantage of others businesswise in the music industry.In all regards; this book is well worth it. Cop it and read about one of the greatest underrated; underappreciated rappers of our time.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Great Book!By Dametrius BedgoodThis is a very powerful memoir and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The only issue I have is that it could have been longer. Scarface really draws the reader into his mind with his brutally honest imagery.
