Hieratic, ecstatic, and endlessly evasive, the Order attracts sensual misfits and cabalistic aesthetes--both to its ranks, and to its scholarship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn recent years, however, the revisionist work of the research collective ESTAR(SER) has done much to clear the air, bringing archival precision to the history of this covey of attention-artists who call themselves \"The Birds.\" Gathering the best articles of the last twenty years of \u003ci\u003eThe Proceedings of ESTAR(SER)\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume represents a landmark in the history of aesthetic practices, and will be a point of departure for future work wading the muddy marshes at the limits of historicism.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eD.
