This book features writing by 17 authors from Germany and from
African and Latin American countries on highly diverse aesthetic
phenomena as seen from their own different points of view. The
texts in this volume all deal with the imperative of
‘decolonization’: they try to highlight aesthetic strategies
for the (re)discovery of unthematized, misappropriated,
transcultural and even transcontinental histories and memories and
aesthetic practices that are absent from or too little perceived
within national consciousnesses. Novels, poems and musical
performances from the East African region are analysed as
intertwined histories of the Indian Ocean and its different
languages. Artworks of the Black Atlantic and perceptions of Africa
are discussed from, for example, Brazilian perspectives. Within the
German context, decolonisation strategies in exhibition practices
in ethnological or art museums developed by Nigerian artists are
evaluated; new terms such as ‘dividuation’ are proposed to
describe these contemporary composite-cultural entanglements, and
so on. A stimulating, wide-ranging and heterogeneous portrait of
contemporary interwoven world cultures!
