About This Book
The book is inspired by the discourse of Acknowledgements and Distinctions.A discourse that incorporates Deconstructionist techniques like differance in order to concretise the critical in the discourse which states that ‘signs’ in the cultural dispensation are in constant interaction with each other in terms of defining their historic, epistemic and contemporary ‘meaning’. The discourse of acknowledgements and distinctions ‘invents’ three concepts that account for themselves through the infinite propensities of social contexts and the ‘signs’ that anchor them for referral. These are the notions of Cerebrinity, Hysteridence and Remembrance. The book also examines the location of visual art practice and art movements in the context of modernity and the explicates the measure with which they can be characterized as what the discourse of acknowledgements and distinctions hysteridenctical. The book argues that visual art practise and art movements exhibit in the context of Modernity the measure with which ‘signs’ are imbued or inculcated as ‘negative’ formative and didactic facilities.
