Arts and Aesthetics in a Globalizing World by Raminder Kaur

Arts and Aesthetics in a Globalizing World by Raminder Kaur

This is an investigation of arts and aesthetics in their widest senses and experiences, presenting a variety of perspectives which range from the metaphysical to the political. Moving beyond art as an expression of the inner mind and invention of the individual self, the volume bridges the gap between changing perceptions of contemporary art and aesthetics, and maps globalizing currents in a number of contexts and regions.The volume includes an impressive variety of case studies offered by established leaders in the field and original and emerging scholarly talent covering areas in India, Nepal, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Rwanda, and Germany, as well as providing transnational or diasporic perspectives. From the contradictory demands made on successful artists from the south in the global art world such as Anish Kapoor, to images of war and puppetry created by female political prisoners, the volume compels creative and political interpretations of the ever-changing and globalizing terrain of arts and aesthetics.

[The book] undertakes an important and timely project.. [it] excels via its heterogeneous glimpses and its curated range of worldmaking activities: digital media, pirated media, the activation of smell within museum exhibits, the soundscapes of weddings, mimesis within political practices, performative practices of diasporic cultures, and alternative art spaces in Tehran. The diversity of its examples offers insight into the sensorial as a realm between individual and group identities. - Anthropos
