The “eternal return”: Self-portrait photography as a technology of embodiment / Jones, Amelia

Abstract
Jones explores the self-portrait works of artists like Cindy Sherman, Hannah Wilke, Lyle Ashton Harris and Laura Aguilar to discuss how subjectivity is established and how meaning is made in relation to all representations of the human body. In these works, the subject performs herself or himself within the purview of an apparatus of perspectival looking that freezes the body as representation and so–as absence, as always already dead–in intimate relation to lack and loss.
