Author: Carolin Overhoff Ferreira
Decoloniality is a concept of resis- tance. Decolonization identifies the colonial thought patterns, ideas, and discourses that still exist today, as well as the socio-political, cultural, eco- nomic, ecological and psychological power structures and practices based on them. Their mechanisms of hierar- chization and subalternization canthus be made conscious. The aim is to understand them and to assert non-hegemonic art and ist epistemol- ogies as equals that have been sup- pressed, attacked and marked as “other” by Western discourses. The critique of the Eurocentric Western epistemology that enabled and justi- fied coloniality is therefore crucial. This book is a groundbreaking and overdue game shifter that accomplishes this for the discipline of History of Art.
