Angela Dimitrakaki addresses these questions through an analysis of artistic labour, the sexualisation of migration as a relationship between Eastern and Western Europe, the post-documentary aesthetic of the feminist video essay, the rise of female art and curatorial collectives, the spectral re-appearance of the male working class in the museum and globalisaton's "bad boys". A central aim of the book is to demonstrate that contemporary art and theory's turn to labour and economic relations around 2000, compels a reviewing of feminism's attachment to the cultural subject, practices and methodologies privileged by postmodernism.' - excerpted from back cover.
