Klappentext

The Oxford Companion to Aboriginal Art and Culture is a unique work of reference for the academic and the general reader alike. It contains concise and authoritative analyses by distinguished Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars; but is also gives space to the voices of Indigenous artists, enriching the reader's understanding of the complex processes and events that have shaped contemporary Indigenous art in all its diversity. With over 400 illustrations, the Companion's primary focus is the visual arts, which are growing in popularity and attracting critical acclaim both nationally and internationally. Entries on other art forms such as Indigenous literature, theatre, and music are also included. The book is wide-ranging in historical scope, from the archeologically documented traditions of precolonial times, to art styles of the colonial period and the nineteenth century, to contemporary art practice, be it in remote communities or the urban centres of the south-east. It covers important regional variations, and the work of a large number of individual artists. The pivotal role of art in the politics of recognition is a pervading theme. The Oxford Companion to Aboriginal Art and Culture is extensively cross-referenced, and there is an index to the essays in the first part. As a reference work it offers flexible access to information that is not available elsewhere - much of it gleaned through original research.
