Paperback. Condition: New. Performer, activist, and writer Jill Johnston was a major queer presence in the history of dance and 1970s feminism. She was the first critic to identify postmodernism's arrival in American dance and was a fierce advocate for the importance of lesbians within feminism. In Jill Johnston in Motion, Clare Croft tracks Johnston's entwined innovations and contributions to dance and art criticism and activism. She examines Johnston's journalism and criticism-in particular her Village Voice columns published between 1960 and 1980-and her books of memoir and biography. At the same time, Croft attends to Johnston's appearances as both dancer and audience member and her physical and often spectacular participation at feminist protests. By bringing together Johnston's criticism and activism, her writing and her physicality, Croft emphasizes the effect that the arts, particularly dance, had on Johnston's feminist thinking in the 1970s and traces lesbian feminism's roots in avant-garde art practice.…

Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Jill Johnston in Motion: Dance, Writing, and Lesbian Life. Book.

Paperback. Condition: New. Jill Johnston began the 1960s as an influential dance columnist for the Village Voice and by the start of the next decade she was known as a keen observer of postmodern art and lesbian feminist life who challenged how dance, art, and women can and should be seen. The Essential Jill Johnston Reader collects dozens of pieces of her writing from across her career. These writings-many of which appeared in the Village Voice and the New York Times-survey the breadth of her work, braiding together her thinking, writing, and activism. From personal essays, travel writing, and artist profiles to dance and visual art reviews as well as her infamous series of columns for the Voice in which she came out as a lesbian, these pieces demonstrate the evolution of her philosophies and writing style. Illustrating how Johnston drew on lessons from dance to reconsider what it means to be a woman, this collection brings a fascinating and brilliant voice of American arts criticism, radical feminism, and gay liberation back to contemporary audiences.…

Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Fine softcover, 286 pages. This copy is SIGNED by Clare Croft on the title page. "Anyone who wants to understand the trajectory of American art from the postwar period to the present will want to read this book. Jill Johnston was at the center of the big shift as modernism gave way to postmodernism, not only as a chronicler but as an instigator, as boundaries between previously discrete forms were dissolved, as old certainties opened into ongoing inquiries and persistent questions and the line between making art and social change became illegible. Anyone who enjoys creative nonfiction and adventurous writing will want to dip into this fabulous collection again and again." - Holly Hughes, Professor, Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design, University of Michigan. Signed.…

Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Fine softcover, 248 pages, b/w ills. This cpy is SIGNED by Clare Croft on the title page. "Jill Johnston in Motion is a smart and engaging read that sheds light on one of the most significant writers of the twentieth century. Clare Croft tells a compelling story about Jill Johnston's transition from dancer to dance critic to feminist cultural critic over the course of her life as a writer. With remarkable care, Croft not only underscores the importance of Johnston's contributions to dance and feminist history, she also demonstrates how Johnston's writing was itself an embodied practice and performance. This important book will be a primary text for performance studies and gender and sexuality studies." - Ricardo Montez, author of Keith Haring's Line: Race and the Performance of Desire. Signed.…

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
