About this book

This companion analyzes interactions between the arts and global imperial relationships from around 1800 through the twentieth century.

By excavating layers and identifying legacies, the essays reveal inherent fractures in colonial perspectives. Tremendous multi-directional imperialisms and inter-imperial dialogues characterize the period, as do protests and anticolonial activity. How does the materializing of empire expose its logics of cultural superiority and its faultlines and instabilities? The essays in this volume explore how the arts, visual culture, and material culture, however subtly, tested empire's hegemonic limits, whether by exposing fragilities, unmasking ruptures, or through intentional subversions. While this volume's chapters at times trace evidence of strident anticolonial voices, most consistently they show visual, textual, material, and performative practices pointing to the instability of imperial ambition and activity. The theme of geological stratification shapes the essay structure as authors consider the modes of artistic interaction in the context of imperialism as well as the legacies of empire.

The book will be of interest to graduate students, researchers, and professors, and may be used in classes focused on art history, imperialism, and colonialism.
