dc.description.abstract |
This article wishes to examine the phenomenon of artists’ books from a postmodern perspective. As artists’ books appear to be a specifically twentieth century art form which intersects a variety of creative fields, such as printing and text, bookbinding, visual images, architecture, sculpture and performance, even electronic media, it appears appropriate to consider this a peculiarly postmodern genre. The concept of the ‘artists’ book’ will be briefly discussed according to specific examples, and the discussion will proceed to examine such books following to Fredrick Jameson’s definition of postmodernism, as explained in his article ‘Postmodernism and Consumer Society’. |

dc.description.abstract |
Hierdie artikel poog om die verskynsel van kunstenaarsboeke vanuit ’n postmodernistiese perspektief te ondersoek. Kunstenaarsboeke skyn om ‘n spesifieke twintigste eeuse verskynsel te wees, wat oor verskeie kreatiewe areas soos die boekdrukkuns, die gebruik van teks, boekbindery, visuele beelde en selfs elektroniese media strek. Daarom blyk dit dat hierdie boeke ’n postmodernistiese verskynsel is en is so ’n benadering toepaslik om hierdie boeke te beskryf. Die begrip ‘kunstenaarsboeke’ word kortliks volgens spesifieke voorbeelde bespreek, en die argument sal verder ontleed word volgens Fredrick Jameson se definisie van postmodernisme, soos verduidelik in sy artikel ‘Postmodernism and Consumer Society’. |
