Summary:

Postrational Visuality seeks to rejuvinate ideas of suspended disbelief in a contemporary climate marked by suspicions of proof and too-frequent disregard of alternative worlds and worldviews. This is “post-truth” not as a tactic to produce confusion or make dangerous political claims but rather as a return to aesthetics as a strategy for sharing unrealized social and philosophical visions. At stake is the possibility of a form of contemporary art that is informed by irrationality, intuition, dreams, nonsense, or paradox and can thus gesture beyond the over-determining tendencies of a single or totalizing sense of reason. This book collects contributions from artists and thinkers who look beyond the rational to take up artistic method as a form of knowledge creation not bound to conventional metrics of thought–seeking new possibilities for creative contemplation and engagement.
