Tim Barringer! Yale University! USA 'This edited volume reveals the vital contribution Victorian studies and art history can make to the study of transculturation ... Codell provides an insightful overview of the concept ...' Victorian Studies Informationen zum Autor Julie F. Codell is Professor of Art History at Arizona State University and Faculty Affiliate in Film and Media Studies, English, Gender and Women's Studies, and the Center for Asian Research. Klappentext Examining painting, photography, illustration, sculpture and architecture from 1770 to 1930, authors explore art that shaped, negotiated, and represented transculturation in the British Empire and in countries under British colonial influences (Congo, Japan, and Turkey). Authors analyze works' cross-cultural meanings in two transcultural dimensions: changing interpretations of single works over time for colonial and postcolonial spectators, and across space in works' replications or multiples in both metropole and colonial spaces. Zusammenfassung Examines colonial art through the lens of transculturation. This book includes essays which argue that, due to art's fundamental nature as spatial, art can illuminate imperial transculturation sites of border cultures and contact zones that go far beyond hybridities of national cultural traditions or conventions.
