It analyses art exhibition as a mobile \"object\" and promotes the idea of art as a transcultural product by using participant observation, in-depth interviews, and multi-media studies as research method. This work encompasses voices of curators, artists, audiences, and art critics spread over different cities, sites, and art institutions to bridge the distance between Europe and India based on vignettes along the \u003ci\u003eIndian Highway\u003c\/i\u003e. The discussion in the book focuses on power relations, the contested politics of representation, and dissonances and processes of negotiation in the field of global art. It also argues for rethinking analytical categories in anthropology to identify the social role of contemporary art practices in different cultural contexts and also examines urban art and the way national or cultural values are reinterpreted in response to ideas of difference and pluralism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich in empirical data, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of modern and contemporary art, Indian art, art and visual culture, anthropology, art history, mobility, and transcultural studies. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54244944806232,"sku":"9780367785048","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367785048_366e33e1-69b1-42bc-9831-71592bbf2e07.jpg?v=1778907653","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/along-the-indian-highway","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
