Emotion and the Seduction of the Senses, Baroque to Neo-Baroque

Emotion and the Seduction of the Senses,
Baroque to Neo-Baroque examines the
relationship between the cultural
productions of the baroque in the
seventeenth century and the neo-baroque in
our contemporary world. The volume
illuminates how, rather than providing
rationally ordered visual realms, both the
baroque and the neo-baroque construct
complex performative spaces whose
spectacle seeks to embrace, immerse, and
seduce the senses and solicit the emotions of
the beholder.
