Author: Monica Juneja
The book responds to the challenge of the global turn in the humanities from the perspective of art history. A global art history, it argues, need not follow the logic of economic globalisation nor seek to bring the entire world into its fold. Instead, it draws on a theory of transculturation to explore key moments of an art history that can no longer be approached through a facile globalism. Five meditations translate intellectual insights beyond Euro-America into globally intelligible analyses.How can art historical analysis theorise relationships of connectivity that have characterised cultures and regions across distances? How can it meaningfully handle issues of commensurability or its absence among cultures?
