CAN ART HISTORY BE MADE GLOBAL? - MONICA JUNEJA

The book responds to the challenge of the global turn in the humanities from the perspective of
art history. A global art history  it argues  need not follow the logic of economic
globalization nor seek to bring the entire world into its fold. Instead  it draws on a theory
of transculturation to explore key moments of an art history that can no longer be approached
through a facile globalism. How can art historical analysis theorize relationships of
connectivity that have characterized cultures and regions across distances? How can it
meaningfully handle issues of commensurability or its absence among cultures? By shifting the
focus of enquiry to South Asia  the five meditations that make up this book seek to translate
intellectual insights of experiences beyond Euro-America into globally intelligible analyses.
