Omschrijving
[A] wide-ranging exploration of visual art, architecture, and opera in India, South Africa, Australia, and China … The author's descriptions of his experience living in South Africa and being with artists and artworks at exhibitions and performances are particularly rich and insightful.
[A] wide-ranging exploration of visual art, architecture, and opera in India, South Africa, Australia, and China … The author's descriptions of his experience living in South Africa and being with artists and artworks at exhibitions and performances are particularly rich and insightful.
Daniel Herwitz has produced an elegant and thoughtful set of polemics on cultural evolution in our age. On every page of this lively presentation I heartily agreed or heartily disagreed, but always enjoyed the argument. He makes out his case for a post-post-colonial analysis neither in sorrow nor in anger. His writing conveys the quiet joy of a cultural activist who is stimulated rather than perturbed by noting that the world refuses to fit itself into the very conceptual frameworks that over the years he himself has helped to establish.
Daniel Herwitz is Fredric Huetwell Professor of Philosophy, History of Art and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan, USA where for a decade he directed the Institute for the Humanities. His previously published books include Aesthetics: Key Concepts in Philosophy (2008) as well as the award winning Star as Icon (2008), and M.F. Husain (1988). Herwitz frequently writes for galleries in New York City, London, Cape Town and other places.
