This is an investigation of arts and aesthetics in their widest senses and experiences; presenting a variety of perspectives which range from the metaphysical to the political. Moving beyond art as an expression of the inner mind and invention of the individual self; the volume bridges the gap between changing perceptions of contemporary art and aesthetics; and maps globalizing currents in a number of contexts and regions.The volume includes an impressive variety of case studies offered by established leaders in the field and original and emerging scholarly talent covering areas in India; Nepal; Indonesia; Iran; Russia; Rwanda; and Germany; as well as providing transnational or diasporic perspectives. From the contradictory demands made on successful artists from the south in the global art world such as Anish Kapoor; to images of war and puppetry created by female political prisoners; the volume compels creative and political interpretations of the ever-changing and globalizing terrain of arts and aesthetics.
