Eternal Ancestors
Author: Barbara Drake Boehm
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 1588392279
Category : Ancestral shrines
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
"Many masterpieces of central African sculpture were created to amplify the power of sacred relics that affirm a family's vital connection to its ancestral heritage. This important volume, focusing on some 130 works representing a diverse variety of regional genres, illuminates the purpose and significance of these icons of African art, which first came to prominence because of their appeal to the Western avant-garde. While providing an overview of sources ranging from colonial explorers, missionaries, critics, artists, and art historians, the book breaks new ground in its examination of the complex aesthetic and spiritual dimensions of the reliquaries. Its interdisciplinary approach brings together the perspectives of scholars in African and medieval art history along with those in African history, religion, and ethnography." -- Publisher.

Out of Bounds
Author: Pamela A. Patton
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271095857
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
Where are the limits of medieval art as a field of study? What happens when conventionally trained art historians disregard the chronological, geographical, or cultural parameters that both direct and protect their scholarship? Beginning with Thelma K. Thomas and Alicia Walker’s acute assessment of the need for a “medieval art history for now,” the essays in Out of Bounds ask what happens when the study of medieval art disregards boundaries that it once obeyed. The volume focuses on questions surrounding the production of knowledge and on how scholarly investigation beyond the conventional thematic boundaries of medieval art history is changing, demonstrating how the field can address the ethics of scholarship today by positing a global turn in response to growing demands for socially responsible medieval studies. Collectively, the contributors demonstrate how “going out of bounds” can transform modern understanding of the people, traditions, and relationships that gave rise to medieval works. As such, this book argues for the necessity of reshaping scholarly discourse about the nature and significance of medieval art and generates fresh scholarly interpretations and important new critical tools for teaching and researching the Middle Ages. The contributors to this volume are Suzanne Conklin Akbari, Michele Bacci, Jill Caskey, Eva Frojmovic, Sarah M. Guérin, Christina Maranci, Alice Isabella Sullivan, Thelma K. Thomas, Michele Tomasi, and Alicia Walker.

Les vocabulaires locaux du "patrimoine"
Author: Julien Bondaz
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643801793
Category : Social Science
Languages : fr
Pages : 229
Book Description
Le souci du "patrimoine" constitue aujourd'hui une activité universelle dont la diffusion est soutenue par les grandes organisations internationales. Elle produit chaque jour de nouveaux espaces de contacts entre les doctrines occidentales et le reste du monde. Mais que sait-on au juste des terminologies et des pratiques de conservation qui fonctionnent en dehors des canons occidentaux ? Ce livre s'attache à décrire et comparer les vocabulaires indigènes du "patrimoine", en montrant la diversité des conceptions locales et leur dialogue avec les politiques internationales. Se révèlent ainsi les ajustements et les oppositions linguistiques et pratiques que les acteurs activent, depuis leurs propres lieux, pour distinguer ces biens singuliers que nous appelons "patrimoine".
