- Double-weighted statement
- This book represents a very extensive investigation of primary and secondary sources, including the attendance of many exhibitions and performances over a 5-year period. Its sections addressing fiction in art and philosophy in relation to avant-gardes, decolonising and feminist practices, and technological developments constitute an original contribution to the field. Apart from the breadth of the research and unique comparative approach, the book contains many diagrams produced by the authors concerning diverse practices. The output merits double-weighting because it represents the generation of complex concepts developed through the analysis of a substantial and diverse body of art and philosophy.

- Additional information
- Burrows and Simon O'Sullivan (artists and writers on philosophical aesthetics) are both equally responsible for the planning and content of the book. Though not a work of art history, the co-authors, in order to write the book, reviewed historical and contemporary art as well as philosophical works jointly. The chapters were initially divided up and developed by the authors and then worked on and rewritten through collaboration, each author revising the other’s texts and diagrams. Although a number of papers were authored individually and published before the book was written, the texts were critiqued and substantially rewritten by both authors.
