Focusing on the concept of belonging, they explore how contemporary art produced outside the bounds of dominant cultural circuits responds to the challenge posed by globalisation. Entanglements between the local and the global, and the confluence of aesthetics and politics, are discussed from the point of view of the art historian, the sociologist, the critic, and the curator.The contributors address cultural nomadism and the experience of place, national identity and transcultural expression, the production of signs, and the implications of metaphor. The essays reveal how artists from traditional societies find in their cultural heritage the basis of a pluralistic creative expression, and how economic and political globalisation leads them to create new strategies of resistance. The contributors include: Hoor Al Qasimi; Frederick N. Bohrer; Kamal Boullata; Nicolas Bourriaud; Boris Brollo; Jean Fisher; Laymert Garcia dos Santos; Elias Khoury; Ken Lum; Joseph Massad; Khaled Mattawa; Gerardo Mosquera; Achille Bonito Oliva; Jack Persekian; Nadia Tazi; and, Tirdad Zolghadr.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50172353773841,"sku":"GOR009785101","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0863566669.jpg?v=1750746722"},{"product_id":"we-begin-here-book-kamal-boullata-9781566566872","title":"We Begin Here","description":"We Begin Here: Poems for Palestine and Lebanon contains poems written in response to the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon together with new ones rising from the 2006 Israeli war on Lebanon. Following a great tradition of poetry throughout history, this book shows the vast conscience and lyrical spirit of resistance on the part of poets in support of the dignity, rights, and humanity of the Palestinian and Lebanese people. We Begin Here is an affirmation of the human and poetic spirit, reminding us that poetry and struggle always 'begin here,' always leading us back to ourselves, to each other, in community, seeking truth and beauty across all borders.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50391537680657,"sku":"CIN1566566878G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1566566878.jpg?v=1751341592"},{"product_id":"palestinian-art-book-kamal-boullata-9780863566486","title":"Palestinian Art","description":"Kamal Boullata offers the first insider's study of Palestinian art. The only authoritative account in English yet published, this scholarly analysis presents insights into the development of Palestinian art before and after the cataclysmic events of 1948 during which Palestinian society was uprooted and dispersed. Palestinian Art includes the pioneering work of those who ventured into easel painting before 1948, of refugees who made their debut in the Arab world and whose art left its deep imprint on the development of modern Arab art, and more recent work by artists making inroads into the international art scene. Boullata also discusses the work of artists who continued to live in their homeland. Representations of home and exile, the ongoing struggle between innovation and tradition, the relationship between verbal and visual expression and the role of women artists in Palestinian modernism are key areas of focus in this work. The book covers artists using conventional studio techniques such as painting, sculpture and mixed media, as well as younger artists employing tools such as video, photography and installation. With a preface by John Berger, and over 200 colour and black and white illustrations this compendium is essential for the expert and enlightening for the general reader.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50938508706065,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50938509459729,"sku":"GOR007191037","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0863566480.jpg?v=1750883933"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-kamal-boullata.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
