The subject of minimalism :on aesthetics, agency, and becoming /Thomas Phillips. - 1 online resource.

Stirrings of discontent: a theoretical context -- Becoming fiction: Sarraute, Stein, Hemingway -- Carver, Sarraute, Toussaint -- Echenoz, Fabre, DeLillo -- Lights camera action: becoming against the screen -- Mark the music: microsound and becoming-silence -- The masochistic body -- The somaesthetic turn: becoming-minimal -- On virtue, verbs, and the virtual -- Conclusion and post script: On being able.

"The Subject of Minimalism" advocates for minimalism as an approach to daily life. Utilizing a wide range of theoretical and creative texts, Thomas Phillips offers an examination of subjectivity as considered, enacted, and embodied. Provocatively, he makes the claim that lived experience is capable of being refined according to the paradoxically rich parameters of a minimalist aesthetic. What is finally at stake for one who engages with certain texts, the book argues, is a selfhood that may become at once 'minimized' and advanced in the psychology and materiality of its everyday life.
