Visual Redress in Africa from Indigenous and New Materialist Perspectives EPUB
Edited by Elmarie Costandius, Gera de Villiers
Part of the Routledge Research in Art and Politics series
EPUB
Description
Through an indigenous and new materialist thinking approach, this book discusses various examples in Africa where colonial public art, statues, signs and buildings were removed or changed after countries' independence.
An African perspective on these processes will bring new understandings and assist in finding ways to address issues in other countries and continents. These often-unresolved issues attract much attention, but finding ways of working through them requires a deeper and broader approach. Contributors propose an African indigenous knowledge perspective in relation to new materialism as alternative approaches to engage with visual redress and decolonisation of spaces in an African context. Authors such as Frantz Fanon, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o and George Dei will be referred to regarding indigenous knowledge, decolonialisation and Africanisation, and Karen Barad, Donna Haraway and Rosi Braidotti regarding new materialism.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, heritage studies, African studies and architecture.
