This is an investigation of arts and aesthetics in their widest
senses and experiences, presenting a variety of perspectives which
range from the metaphysical to the political. Moving beyond art as
an expression of the inner mind and invention of the individual
self, the volume bridges the gap between changing perceptions of
contemporary art and aesthetics, and maps globalizing currents in a
number of contexts and regions.The volume includes an impressive
variety of case studies offered by established leaders in the field
and original and emerging scholarly talent covering areas in India,
Nepal, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Rwanda, and Germany, as well as
providing transnational or diasporic perspectives. From the
contradictory demands made on successful artists from the south in
the global art world such as Anish Kapoor, to images of war and
puppetry created by female political prisoners, the volume compels
creative and political interpretations of the ever-changing and
globalizing terrain of arts and aesthetics.
In this book the author has worked at a critical approach in the
study of the Silpasastras. Contrary to the received opinion that
the past is directly accessible to us via the sacrosanct fragments
of the texts, the author argues what they only make sense within a
framework, which is necessarily the Citrasutra, comprising nine
adhyayas or chapters of the third khanda of the Visnudharmaottara
Pirana, is posited as a much "discovered" and technical and
context-specific sense of the terms.
