Projects/Processes

Probing the canon of art history and its discontents, the essays featured in this volume study responses to the varied ecologies of power within cultures of lens-based and performance art. They examine the horizons of personal and collective memory and the phenomenology of a de-sequential temporality. Focusing on practices which contravene axiomatic relations, disciplinary gestures of exclusion, and archival impulses towards erasure, these essays are drawn from surveys of selected films, photo archives, trans-media practices, and performances in South Asia and beyond.
