Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"This remarkable orchestration of voices, visualities, and political visions lays bare the antinomies and contradictions that haunt the sovereign claims of globalization. Each consummate essay is an artful reflection on the complex resistances and revisions that emanate from cultural practices that transform the aesthetic and ethical realities of embedded and embattled localities. I warmly recommend Antinomies of Art and Culture."--Homi K. Bhabha, Anne F. Rothenberg Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University "This is a provocative and indeed challenging assessment of the relation between 'art' and 'culture' (in scare quotes because both concepts are questioned) in the post-postmodernist moment. The essays successfully reposition discussion in a genuinely worldwide perspective, redefine modernism on a global scale, and push avant-garde thinking in new directions."--Hayden White, University Professor Emeritus, University of California, and Professor of Comparative Literature, Stanford University "Anyone wishing to assess the state of contemporary art and its relation to institutions, politics, social movements, and indeed, to the entire project of imagining and naming the world at the present moment will find this brilliant book essential and disturbing reading. It offers no grand synthesis but provides a shattered mosaic of the crucial elements that will have to be assembled by any future historian looking back on the early twenty-first century."--W. J. T. Mitchell, author of What Do Pictures Want? The Lives and Loves of Images Read more...
