Summary:

""Arts on the Margins of World Encounters" presents original contributions that deal with artworks of differently marginalized people-such as ethnic minorities, refugees, immigrants, disabled people, and descendants of slaves-, a wide variety of art forms-like clay figures, textile, paintings, poems, museum exhibits and theater performances-, and original data based on committed, long-term fieldwork and/or archival research in Brazil, Martinique, Rwanda, India, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. The volume develops theoretical approaches inspired by innovative theorists and is based on currently debated analytical categories including the ethnographic turn in contemporary art, polycentric aesthetics, and aesthetic cannibalization, among others. This collection also incorporates fascinating and intriguing contemporary cases, but with solid theoretical arguments and grounds. "Arts on the Margins of World Encounters" will appeal to students at all levels, scholars, and practitioners in arts, aesthetics, anthropology, social inequality, and discrimination, as well as researchers in other fields, including post-colonialism and cultural organizations"-- Provided by publisher.
