Abstract (English)

This collection highlights the use of allegory in artists' writing. 47 contributors fuse varying styles and voices to explore the social construction of identity. Bibl. 13 p.

"In these writings, we are offered a critical investigation of postmodern culture, but without the distancing effects of traditional art criticism. Instead, we are engaged in the pleasures and the self-implicating risks of writers who often use allegory - a texte that "says one thing but means another" - to bridge from the personal to the political, from individual feeling to mass phenomena." -- Dust jacket.
