- This is a collection of newly-commissioned essays, edited by Dana Arnold, in which eight writers respond to a preface by Rifkin, ‘Après (Tout) Coup?’, that outlines some of his key theoretical standpoints and then develop his style, methodologies and object-oriented concerns. As well as introducing the book and editing it, Dana Arnold also wrote an essay for the book: ‘The Soundtrack to History’. Rifkin’s interdisciplinary and wide-ranging engagements with aspects of Parisian urban formation, queer theory, the breathless subject and the object of art history itself are uncovered in the responses of his fellow art historians as well as his ending remarks. Grounded in different aspects of Rifkin's writings - the relationship between art and industry, pedagogical practices, reimagining historicity - these scholars are offer their own transgressive, meditative, incisive and revolutionary arguments for the Rifkin’s value to teaching and learning, thinking and writing. Their essays address Rifkin’s preoccupations obliquely while revealing the writer’s own engagements with art history and reconsidering Rifkin’s engagements with Aby Warburg, Edgar Wind, Erwin Panofsky and Jacques Rancière as well as feminist and psychoanalytic thought. The book also contains visual interventions by contemporary artists. Essays by: Tamar Garb ‘Centres and Peripheries: Rethinking Cape Town and Paris for AR’; Steve Edwards Décor and Decorum at the ‘Temple of Photography’; Susan L. Seigfried ‘Fragment and Repetition in Ingres: The never-ending work of art’; David Peters Corbett ‘American Water: Memory and Projecting in mid-19th Century American painting’; Paul Bownam ‘Autodidactics of Bits: Adrian Rifkin’s (Rancierean) Cultural Studies and the Partition of the Pedagogical’; Griselda Pollock ‘Queer and Feminist Voices Writing/Facing Death: Subjectivity, Mothers and Embodiment Beyond the Public Domain’; and Jas Elner ‘Green Curtains and Picture Covers: Towards an Archaeology of the Pictorial Closet.’
