Klappentext zu „Martin, D: Curious Visions of Modernity “
Rembrandt¿s famous painting of an anatomy lesson; the shrunken head of an Australian indigenous leader; an aerial view of Paris from a balloon: all are windows to enchantment in a rational world, curiosities that illuminate something shadowy and forgotten lurking behind the neat facade of a rational world. In Curious Visions of Modernity, David Martin unpacks a collection of artifacts from the visual and historical archives of modernity, finding in each a slippage of scientific rationality--a repressed heterogeneity within the homogenized structures of post-Enlightenment knowledge. In doing so, he exposes modernity and its visual culture as being haunted by precisely those things that rationality sought to expunge from the "enlightened" world: enchantment, magic, and wonderment. Martin traces the genealogies of what he considers three of the most distinct and historically immediate fields of modern visual culture: the collection, the body, and the mapping of spaces.

Rezension zu „Martin, D: Curious Visions of Modernity “
"In discovering traces of...magic beneath our systems of knowledge, Martin does more than provide an alternative history of rational progress, but points to moments of curiosity remaining among us. Martin's joy in this modern magic... is winning. It's as if he'd seen a statue move."--Evan McMurry, Bookslut
