“No more business as usual”
This paper began when I tried to imagine an unholy alliance of modern historiography of the Renaissance with art and politics (mostly in Chicago) in the late 60s and I ran smack dab into T. J. Clark’s The Sight of Death.
It reads (or begins to read) scattered elements of art, art history, and pedagogy in (and in the wake of) “1968” through one another—addressing the hidden curricula of art history; Eve Sedgwick’s paranoid vs. reparative reading; how not to learn the wrong lessons of ’68; “prefigurative politics,” the politics of figuration, and the art/life divide; art as a dead girl; and discomfort as survival skill.
