Edited by Carnegie Mellon’s Andreea Deciu Ritivoi and Judith Schachter, along with Richard Howells of King’s College London, “Outrage!” examines art controversies and how they are shaped by, and shape, a social context. The volume includes essays by 17 contributors — most with a direct connection to CMU — in fields ranging from art and visual studies to philosophy, literature and social sciences. It also carefully analyzes and attempts to define the concepts of “controversy” and “public” across cultures.
A book launch and signing event that will also feature "Readings in Performance and Ecology," edited by Wendy Arons and Theresa May, will take place 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 23 in the University Center's Danforth Lounge. Email hssdean@andrew.cmu.edu to RSVP. Read more.
