Author: Carolin Overhoff Ferreira
Decoloniality is a concept of resistance. Decolonisation identifies the colonial thought patterns, ideas, and discourses that still exist today, as well as the socio-political, cultural, economic, ecological and psychological power structures and practices based on them. The aim of this title is to understand them and to assert non-hegemonic art and its epistemologies as equals that have been suppressed, attacked and marked as “other” by Western discourses.Their mechanisms of hierarchisation and subalternisation can thus be made conscious. The critique of the Eurocentric Western epistemology that enabled and justified coloniality is therefore crucial. This book is a groundbreaking and overdue game shifter that accomplishes this for the discipline of History of Art.
