While the importance of the relationship between anthropology and
contemporary art has long been recognized, the discussion has
tended to be among scholars from North America, Europe, and
Australia; until now, scholarship and experiences from other
regions have been largely absent from mainstream debate.
Alternative Art and Anthropology: Global Encounters rectifies this
by offering a ground-breaking new approach to the subject. Entirely
dedicated to perspectives from Asia, Latin America, and Africa, the
book advances our understanding of the connections between
anthropology and contemporary art on a global scale. Across ten
chapters, a range of anthropologists, artists, and curators from
countries such as China, Japan, Indonesia, Bhutan, Nigeria, Chile,
Ecuador, and the Philippines discuss encounters between
anthropology and contemporary art from their points of view,
presenting readers with new vantage points and perspectives. Arnd
Schneider, a leading scholar in the field, draws together the
various threads to provide readers with a clear conceptual and
theoretical narrative. The first to map the relationship between
anthropology and contemporary art from a global perspective, this
is a key text for students and academics in areas such as
anthropology, visual anthropology, anthropology of art, art
history, and curatorial studies.
