The issues of colonialism and imperialism have recently come to the
forefront of thinking in the humanities. Disciplines such as
history, literature and anthropology are taking stock of their
extensive and usually unacknowledged legacy of Empire. At the same
time, contemporary cultural theory has had to respond to
post-colonial pressure, with its different registers and agendas.
This volume ranges, geographically, from Brazil to India and South
Africa, from the Andes to the Caribbean and the USA. This range is
matched by a breadth of historical perspectives. Central to the
whole volume is a critique of the very idea of the "postcolonial"
itself. Contributors include Annie Coombes, Simon During, Peter
Hulme, Neil Lazarus, David Lloyd, Anne McClintock, Zita Nunes,
Benita Parry, Graham Pechey, Mary Louise Pratt, Renato Rosaldo and
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.
Commemorating an exhibition at Gagosian, London, this catalog is
the first publication to examine the connections between these two
artists work. Two booklets in a softcover portfolio feature
full-color plates and installation views. An interview with Ruscha
and an essay by Margaret Iversen explain how Ruscha first
encountered Eilshemius s enigmatic paintings, which of the artist s
aesthetic innovations captured Ruscha s imagination, and how his
own work relates to and differs from that of the Neglected Marvel
Eilshemius.
