Book Synopsis The Art of Life in South Africa by : Daniel Magaziner
Download or read book The Art of Life in South Africa written by Daniel Magaziner and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1952 to 1981, South Africa’s apartheid government ran an art school for the training of African art teachers at Indaleni, in what is today KwaZulu-Natal. The Art of Life in South Africa is the story of the students, teachers, art, and politics that circulated through a small school, housed in a remote former mission station. It is the story of a community that made its way through the travails of white supremacist South Africa and demonstrates how the art students and teachers made together became the art of their lives. Daniel Magaziner radically reframes apartheid-era South African history. Against the dominant narrative of apartheid oppression and black resistance, as well as recent scholarship that explores violence, criminality, and the hopeless entanglements of the apartheid state, this book focuses instead on a small group’s efforts to fashion more fulfilling lives for its members and their community through the ironic medium of the apartheid-era school. There is no book like this in South African historiography. Lushly illustrated and poetically written, it gives us fully formed lives that offer remarkable insights into the now clichéd experience of black life under segregation and apartheid.

Book Synopsis The Law and the Prophets by : Daniel R. Magaziner
Download or read book The Law and the Prophets written by Daniel R. Magaziner and published by Jacana Media. This book was released on 2010 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""No nation can win a battle without faith," Steve Biko wrote, and as Daniel R. Magaziner demonstrates in The Law and the Prophets, the combination of ideological and theological exploration proved a potent force. The 1970s are a decade virtually lost to South African historiography. This span of years bridged the banning and exile of the country's best-known antiapartheid leaders in the early 1960s and the furious protests that erupted after the Soweto uprisings of June 16, 1976. Scholars thus know that something happened--yet they have only recently begun to explore how and why. The Law and the Prophets is an intellectual history of the resistance movement between 1968 and 1977; it follows the formation, early trials, and ultimate dissolution of the Black Consciousness movement. It differs from previous antiapartheid historiography, however, in that it focuses more on ideas than on people and organizations. Its singular contribution is an exploration of the theological turn that South African politics took during this time. Magaziner argues that only by understanding how ideas about race, faith, and selfhood developed and were transformed in this period might we begin to understand the dramatic changes that took place."--Publisher description.

Book Synopsis Art, Creativity, and Politics in Africa and the Diaspora by : Abimbola Adelakun
Download or read book Art, Creativity, and Politics in Africa and the Diaspora written by Abimbola Adelakun and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the politics of artistic creativity, examining how black artists in Africa and the diaspora create art as a procedure of self-making. Essays cross continents to uncover the efflorescence of black culture in national and global contexts and in literature, film, performance, music, and visual art. Contributors place the concerns of black artists and their works within national and transnational conversations on anti-black racism, xenophobia, ethnocentrism, migration, resettlement, resistance, and transnational feminisms. Does art by the subaltern fulfill the liberatory potential that critics have ascribed to it? What other possibilities does political art offer? Together, these essays sort through the aesthetics of daily life to build a thesis that reflects the desire of black artists and cultures to remake themselves and their world.

Book Synopsis Acts of Transgression by : Jay Pather
Download or read book Acts of Transgression written by Jay Pather and published by Wits University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen writers explore the experimental, interdisciplinary and radically transgressive field of contemporary live art in South Africa, focusing on a wide range of perspectives, personalities and theoretical concerns. Contemporary South African society is chronologically ‘post’ apartheid, but it continues to grapple with material redress, land redistribution and systemic racism. Acts of Transgression represents the complexity of this moment in the rich potential of a performative art form that transcends disciplinary boundaries and aesthetic conventions. The contributors, who are all significantly involved in the discipline of performance art, probe its intersection with crisis and socio-political turbulence, shifting notions of identity and belonging, embodied trauma and loss. Narratives of the past and visions for the future are interrogated through memory and the archive, thus destabilising entrenched colonial systems. Collectively analysing the work of more than 25 contemporary South African artists, including Athi-Patra Ruga, Mohau Modisakeng, Steven Cohen, Dean Hutton, Mikhael Subotzsky, Tracey Rose and Donna Kukama, among others, the analysis is accompanied by a visual record of more than 50 photographs. For those working in the fields of theatre, performance studies and art, this is a must-have collection of critical essays on a burgeoning and exciting field of contemporary South African research.

Book Synopsis Eliot Elisofon by : Katherine E. Flach
Download or read book Eliot Elisofon written by Katherine E. Flach and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a public figure and a famous LIFE magazine photographer, Eliot Elisofon participated in the mainstream appreciation and discussion of African art more than many scholars. He publicized African art in magazine articles, exhibitions, books, lectures, films, television documentaries, and much more during his career. Elisofon exposed a wider population to unknown art forms, peoples, and cultures. By putting this content into the mass media, he was ahead of his time. Through stimulating interest in African art, he contributed to its transformation from natural history artifact to fine art. The occasional flaws of his promotion tactics reveal some of the perceptual difficulties encountered during the formation of the field of African art history. This examination of Elisofon's life's work delineates his unique place in African art history by assessing his contributions to the study and appreciation of African art. It is a field of study that defined a large part of his life, and his affiliated activities give us a window into the history of reception of African art in America from the late 1940s through the early 1970s. Elisofon was fascinated with Africa and African art, and he wanted to convey this interest to the widest audience possible. While he never earned a degree in art history, his photographs of African art and words on this topic influenced generations. Elisofon brought the public along on his journey for knowledge about African art and Africa, initiating public consideration of what most people regarded as a foreign and intimidating topic. His projects embody the varied perceptions of the time. As Elisofon first discovered African art, he appreciated it because of its influence on modern European art. Later he began to discuss its aesthetic value independent of modern art, and its meaning for Africans. He participated in the debate over how much information should be presented to the public about these objects without getting in the way of appreciation of them as art. Toward the end of his life, he continued to serve as a proponent of African art and culture in the mass media, forming an interest in how his work could encourage black pride.
