Summary: Kwan Kiu Leung analysiert die Darstellung weiblicher Subjektivität in der zeitgenössischen Kunst im globalen Kontext. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet ein Vergleich zwischen Werken von Tracey Karima Emin und He Chengyao. Die Autorin zeigt auf, inwiefern die Werke der beiden Künstlerinnen nicht nur ein Selbst konstituieren, sondern auch eine ontologische Identifikationsbeziehung zwischen Subjektivitat und Kunstwerk erzeugen. Drei Aspekte von Subjektivität stehen dabei im Zentrum: Performativität, Sichtbarkeit und Eindeutigkeit.Summary: The book provides a comparison of contemporary art by analyzing female aesthetic subjectivity within a global context. The starting point is a comparison between the work of Tracey Karima Emin and He Chengyao. Kwan Kiu Leung demonstrates why their work constitutes not only the self, but they practice an ontological identification relationship between subjectivity and artwork that exhibits three aspects of their subjectivity: performativity, visibility, and univocity. Furthermore, it reveals an ontological and ethical self within their naked self-portraits.
