This volume aims to question, challenge, supplement, and revise
current understandings of the relationship between aesthetic and
political operations. The authors transcend disciplinary boundaries
and nurture a wide-ranging sensibility about art and sovereignty,
two highly complex and interwoven dimensions of human experience
that have rarely been explored by scholars in one conceptual space.
Several chapters consider the intertwining of modern philosophical
currents and modernist artistic forms, in particular those
revealing formal abstraction, stylistic experimentation,
self-conscious expression, and resistance to traditional
definitions of "Art." Other chapters deal with currents that
emerged as facets of art became increasingly commercialized,
merging with industrial design and popular entertainment
industries. Some contributors address Post-Modernist art and
theory, highlighting power relations and providing sceptical,
critical commentary on repercussions of colonialism and notions of
universal truths rooted in Western ideals. By interfering with
established dichotomies and unsettling stable debates related to
art and sovereignty, all contributors frame new perspectives on the
co-constitution of artworks and practices of sovereignty.
