Description: The New Physiognomy by Rochelle Rives Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "This work bridges a number of fields in the humanities to examine how modernist representations demonstrate the limits of facial expressivity as a marker of the true qualities of a person"-- Publisher Description A fascinating new study of the face, form, and history of expression.Advances in facial recognition, artificial intelligence, and other technologies provoke urgent ethical questions about facial expressivity and how we interpret it. In The New Physiognomy, Rochelle Rives roots contemporary facial dilemmas in a more expansive timeline of modernist engagements with the face to argue that facial ambiguity is essential to how we value other people.Beginning with nineteenth-century caricatures of Oscar Wildes face, Rives reasons that modernist modes of reading the face perceived it as a manifestation of both biologically determined traits and scripted forms of personality. Considering faces such as sculptures of great poets, portraits of facially wounded World War I soldiers, W. H. Audens aging face, and Cindy Shermans recent photographic self-portraits, Rives reframes how to read modernist works by Theodore Dreiser, Edith Wharton, Jean Rhys, Joseph Conrad, Mina Loy, Henry Tonks, and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska. Author Biography Rochelle Rives is a professor of English at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York.
