Summary:
"Three economies of transcendence" offers a sharp critique of how transcendence underpins the symbolic, economic, and environmental crises of the modern world. Andrea Righi identifies three distinct “economies of transcendence” that sustain neoliberal systems of power. Termed the economy of rank, the economy of infinite valorization, and the phallic economy of time, these economies perpetuate hierarchies, sacrifices, and ecological destruction. Through this framework, Righi not only diagnoses the crisis but also proposes an immanent model of economy that fosters solidarity and is expressly pro-social and ecologically responsible.

In her analyses of the photographic production of Cindy Sherman, Robert Mapplethorpe, Susan Meiselas, Francesca Woodman, and others, Solomon-Godeau refigures the disciplinary object of photography by considering these practices through an examination of the determinations of genre and gender as these shape the relations between photographers, their images, and their viewers.
