Chaos, Territory, Art

More about the book

Art is redefined as an expression of primal desire and eroticism, rather than merely a product of reason and refined taste. Elizabeth Grosz explores how architecture, music, and painting emerge from the disruptive forces of sexual selection, emphasizing that the significance of art lies in the sensory experiences and emotional intensities it evokes. This perspective shifts the focus from artistic intention to the visceral connections art creates, highlighting its role in expressing deep human desires.
