Can Art History be Made Global? - Meditations from the Periphery (Paperback)

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
globalization 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. How can art historical analysis theorize
relationships of connectivity that have characterized cultures and
regions across distances? How can it meaningfully handle issues of
commensurability or its absence among cultures? By shifting the
focus of enquiry to South Asia, the five meditations that make up
this book seek to translate intellectual insights of experiences
beyond Euro-America into globally intelligible analyses.
