Book Synopsis Michel Leiris et la théorie des arts africains by : Ange-Séverin Malanda
Download or read book Michel Leiris et la théorie des arts africains written by Ange-Séverin Malanda and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2003-09-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Leiris a fait appel à tous les savoirs pouvant rendre intelligible l'objet d'art africain. Cette étude présente une réflexion sur les conditions dans lesquelles le discours de Leiris a pu se situer par rapport à tel paradigme théorique ou à tel autre. Il apparaît, au fil de cette réflexion, qu'en s'affranchissant des préjugés de l'exotisme ou de la curiosité, celui qui écrivit l'Afrique fantôme a oeuvré en faveur de la mutation du discours sur l'autre en même temps qu'il développait une critique de l'ordre de la représentation ou de la figuration.

Download or read book Art in Theory written by Paul Wood and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 1168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-breaking new anthology in the Art in Theory series, offering an examination of the changing relationships between the West and the wider world in the field of art and material culture Art in Theory: The West in the World is a ground-breaking anthology that comprehensively examines the relationship of Western art to the art and material culture of the wider world. Editors Paul Wood and Leon Wainwright have included over 350 texts, some of which appear in English for the first time. The anthologized texts are presented in eight chronological parts, which are then subdivided into key themes appropriate to each historical era. The majority of the texts are representations of changing ideas about the cultures of the world by European artists and intellectuals, but increasingly, as the modern period develops, and especially as colonialism is challenged, a variety of dissenting voices begin to claim their space, and a counter narrative to western hegemony develops. Over half the book is devoted to 20th and 21st century materials, though the book’s unique selling point is the way it relates the modern globalization of art to much longer cultural histories. As well as the anthologized material, Art in Theory: The West in the World contains: A general introduction discussing the scope of the collection Introductory essays to each of the eight parts, outlining the main themes in their historical contexts Individual introductions to each text, explaining how they relate to the wider theoretical and political currents of their time Intended for a wide audience, the book is essential reading for students on courses in art and art history. It will also be useful to specialists in the field of art history and readers with a general interest in the culture and politics of the modern world.
Download or read book Reification written by Timothy Bewes and published by Verso. This book was released on 2002-12-17 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reification is the process by which human experience and action is transformed into a sort of object, separated from human reality, and was identified by Karl Marx as being a natural outgrowth of capitalist accumulation. The concept has recently fallen into analytical disrepute, partly because the concept of reification is itself reifying, argues Bewes (Brown U.) He revisits concepts of reification in the works of Marx, Adorno, Fanon, Lukacs, and others, seeking to resolve theoretical problems thrown up by the idea. The theory presented here is an attempt to resolve the theory of reification with its obsolescence. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Synopsis French Primitivism and the Ends of Empire, 1945-1975 by : Daniel J. Sherman
Download or read book French Primitivism and the Ends of Empire, 1945-1975 written by Daniel J. Sherman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over a century, the idea of primitivism has motivated artistic modernism. Focusing on the three decades after World War II, known in France as “les trentes glorieuses” despite the loss of most of the country’s colonial empire, this probing and expansive book argues that primitivism played a key role in a French society marked by both economic growth and political turmoil. In a series of chapters that consider significant aspects of French culture—including the creation of new museums of French folklore and of African and Oceanic arts and the development of tourism against the backdrop of nuclear testing in French Polynesia—Daniel J. Sherman shows how primitivism, a collective fantasy born of the colonial encounter, proved adaptable to a postcolonial, inward-looking age of mass consumption. Following the likes of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Andrée Putman, and Jean Dubuffet through decorating magazines, museum galleries, and Tahiti’s pristine lagoons, this interdisciplinary study provides a new perspective on primitivism as a cultural phenomenon and offers fresh insights into the eccentric edges of contemporary French history.

Download or read book Michel Leiris written by Seán Hand and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full-length study in English of Michel Leiris's work. Frequently cited as a central figure in contemporary French culture, Seán Hand explores Leiris's participation in some of the most striking intellectual and artistic movements of the twentieth century; surrealism, ethnography and existentialism. Hand locates his writing in these different contexts in relation to the major artistic, political and philosophical concepts of the period. He goes on to argue that Leiris's multi-volume autobiography stands as the model form of self-enquiry in the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Islam and Tribal Art in West Africa by : René A. Bravmann
Download or read book Islam and Tribal Art in West Africa written by René A. Bravmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1974-05-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most writers have assumed that the spread of the Islamic faith has tended to weaken and undermine the foundations of traditional African society and culture. In this interesting and original study Professor Bravmann re-examines and refutes the assumption that the aniconic attitudes of Islam, especially the prohibition of representational imagery, have had a detrimental effect on the visual arts in the areas of West Africa influenced by this universalistic faith. The strength and flexibility of West African societies and their art forms is clearly revealed in the major part of this study, which is devoted to a detailed examination of the impact of Islam upon traditional art in the Cercle de Bondoukou and west central areas of Ghana. The text is illustrated with numerous photographs showing a variety of art forms and masquerades in the region.
Book Synopsis Arts et peuples de l'Afrique noire by : Jacqueline Delange
Download or read book Arts et peuples de l'Afrique noire written by Jacqueline Delange and published by . This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Plutôt qu'histoire des arts plastiques négro-africains, matériaux pour une telle histoire. " Ainsi, dans sa préface, Michel Leiris présente-t-il cet ouvrage. Jacqueline Delange restitue l'univers esthétique de l'Afrique noire. Elle dresse l'inventaire des formes, fondé sur la répartition des divers peuples en groupes dont l'unité culturelle est reconnue; elle replace les genres, les styles, dans le milieu humain où ils ont pris naissance, et combine l'approche ethnologique et la saisie proprement esthétique des réalisations. Sans négliger le contexte sociologique et historique, elle s'efforce de retrouver d'abord la permanence de la main du créateur et, autant qu'il est possible, l'intention derrière cette main. Alors se déploient devant nous les multiples liens qui font des objets un vaste contrepoint des projets

Book Synopsis Art africain et esthétique occidentale by : Roger Somé
Download or read book Art africain et esthétique occidentale written by Roger Somé and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 1998 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis un siècle, des arts non européens sont entrés dans le patrimoine culturel occidental. Pourtant leur approche au sein de la recherche scientifique ainsi que le cadre de leur promotion auprès du public suscitent toujours de violents débats. Dans ce contexte, ce livre propose une démarche novatrice : à partir d'une étude pluridisciplinaire de la statuaire des Lobi et des Dagara du Burkina Faso, il présente une analyse critique sur la place de l'œuvre d' " art africain " en général dans l'esthétique classique occidentale. Bien qu'elle ait une dimension philosophique, la critique se nourrit de considérations anthropologiques. Ainsi on voit se déployer une description in situ qui s'achève sur des interrogations profondément conceptuelles et, inversement, une critique - notamment de l'Esthétique - se construire comme telle, précisément, parce que l'étude prend en compte des pratiques sociales et des données linguistiques lobi et dagara. En somme, cet ouvrage est l'occasion d'une confrontation de deux expériences culturelles qui établit un nouveau regard sur les arts non européens ; regard qui n'est pas sans conséquences pour l'histoire moderne de l'art en général.

Book Synopsis Vodou in Haitian Memory by : Celucien L. Joseph
Download or read book Vodou in Haitian Memory written by Celucien L. Joseph and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Haitian history—from 17th century colonial Saint-Domingue to 21st century postcolonial Haiti—arguably, the Afro-Haitian religion of Vodou has been represented as an “unsettling faith” and a “cultural paradox,” as expressed in various forms and modes of Haitian thought and life including literature, history, law, politics, painting, music, and art. Competing voices and conflicting ideas of Vodou have emerged from each of these cultural symbols and intellectual expressions. The Vodouist discourse has not only pervaded every aspect of the Haitian life and experience, it has defined the Haitian cosmology and worldview. Further, the Vodou faith has had a momentous impact on the evolution of Haitian intellectual, aesthetic, and literary imagination; comparatively, Vodou has shaped Haitian social ethics, sexual and gender identity, and theological discourse such as in the intellectual works and poetic imagination of Jean Price-Mars, Dantes Bellegarde, Jacques Roumain, Jacques Stephen Alexis, etc. Similarly, Vodou has shaped the discourse on the intersections of memory, trauma, history, collective redemption, and Haitian diasporic identity in Haitian women’s writings such as in the fiction of Edwidge Danticat, Myriam Chancy, etc. The chapters in this collection tell a story about the dynamics of the Vodou faith and the rich ways Vodou has molded the Haitian narrative and psyche. The contributors of this book examine this constructed narrative from a multicultural voice that engages critically the discipline of ethnomusicology, drama, performance, art, anthropology, ethnography, economics, literature, intellectual history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, religion, and theology. Vodou is also studied from multiple theoretical approaches including queer, feminist theory, critical race theory, Marxism, postcolonial criticism, postmodernism, and psychoanalysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropological Abstracts is a reference journal published once a year in print, and it lists - in English language - most publications in the field of cultural/social anthropology published in the German language area (Austria, Germany, and Switzerland). Since many of these publications have been written in German, and most German publications in anthropology are not included in the major English language abstracting services, Anthropological Abstracts offers a convenient source of information for anthropologists and social scientists in general who do not read German. Included are journal articles, monographs, anthologies, exhibition catalogs, yearbooks, etc. Most abstracts are authored by the editor, while others are specified accordingly. The journal has been edited by Ulrich Oberdiek since 1993 (formerly: Abstracts in German Anthropology; since 2002: Anthropological Abstracts). (Series: Anthropological Abstracts - Cultural/Social Anthropology from German-speaking Countries - Vol. 8)
