Indigenous Aesthetics: Art, Activism and Autonomy (Radical Aesthetics-Radical Art)

Dylan A. T. Miner

4.9/5 (30339 ratings)

Description:This book critically investigates the intersection of contemporary native art and anti-colonial politics. In the wake of the near universal adoption of the United Nations' Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, a text of this nature is crucial as contemporary indigenous artists, activists, and curators continue to change the landscape of indigeneity and the political possibilities of self-determination (both political and artistic). No other single-authored book has explored the relationship between contemporary artistic practice and indigenous activism. This book focuses on 'non-traditional' indigenous practices, because these discourses are the artistic and aesthetic sites in which contemporary Native artists are participating. In this way, an engaged analysis of street art, cinema, and curatorial work appropriately positions news ways of seeing indigenous North American art. Written from an indigenist perspective, one which incorporates Western theories, yet couched in contemporary indigenous ontologies, Indigenous Aesthetics offers many new findings. Initially, this will be the first book of its kind to discuss contemporary Native art in relationship to radical politics and/or aesthetics. Second, because many of the artists, collectives, and activists in the book work outside dominant institutions, little is written about their work. The text will be significant in that it offers fresh insights about innovative figures and institutions. Moreover, by challenging dominate Western institutions, even Leftist and radical ones, the arguments represent a lasting critique above and beyond simply the insertion of indigenous aesthetics into contemporary discussions on aesthetics.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
