How Secular Is Art? - On the Politics of Art, History and Religion in South Asia

On the Art of Art History in South Asia. History - other areas, South Asian history, Art general

Summary

Exploring the secular credentials and religious redesignations of art, this book is anchored in a conception of a region. Fissured by partitions, state-formations and religious nationalisms, this idea of a region still stands here as a collective site for interrogating the secularity of art, its histories and its politics.
