Jennifer Doyle is the author of Hold It Against Me: Difficulty and Emotion in
Contemporary Art (Duke, 2013) and Sex Objects: Art and the Dialectics of Desire

practices in contemporary art, and contrasts the access they give us to languages of
struggle and flight with other ways of being and moving through the world. Doyle is

Distinguished Chair at the University of the Arts, London.
