The Nightwatchman

2025/07/24 出版

Drawing on a rich archive of colonial photography, Mokoena explores how images of African policemen and nightwatchmen in colonial South Africa challenged traditional narratives of oppression, revealing how uniform and portraiture transformed the black male figure into an aesthetic subject worthy of admiration. This illustrated collection of essays brings into focus African men in colonial uniforms as a subject of portraiture. It extends the literature on colonial ethnographic photography by creating a narrative of nightwatchman portraiture from the rich archive of images. While a genre of photography developed around images of the 'Zulu warrior' after the defeat of the English at Isandlwana, Hlonipha Mokoena argues that the spectacle of the Zulu male body was inaugurated after the last Zulu king, Cetshwayo, was photographed as a posing subject. Much research has focussed on the African man as a functionary of settler power; these essays shift debates about how the body moves in history. Placed in uniform, the male subject becomes aestheticised and admired. Mokoena focuses on the sartorial selection processes and co-optation of colonial aesthetic culture that constructed the idea of the Nonqgqayi or nightwatchman as a fully formed photographic presence. The beauty captured in these images upends conceptions of colonial photography as a tool of oppression. In its focus on the figure of the black and brown fighting man, The Nightwatchman offers an innovative work on the history of portraiture in colonial South Africa and new avenues for the interpretation of visual representations of the black male figure.

Ancient India

2025/07/23 出版

"The catalogue frames the objects in a history of these religions, setting out the connection between ancient and modern India... Along with the individual history of each object, further close-up studies of each item can sometimes be more rewarding than a wideangle broad sweep. Many of the pieces in this exhibition are from the British Museum's own collection."- Open MagazineAncient India was a dynamic; cosmopolitan centre of creativity. The visual traditions of its major indigenous religions were closely interrelated; reflecting political power; changes in peoples' daily lives and artistic innovation. Exported beyond the Indian subcontinent in antiquity; these three major religions - Jainism; Buddhism and Hinduism - are living traditions and their devotional works of art impact on the daily life of billions of people across the world.This major new publication traces the development of religious imagery from around 100 BCE; when it focused on the depiction of nature spirits; to 600 CE; by which time devotional illustrations of Jain; Buddhist and Hindu deities and teachers had taken definitive shape. Moving from symbolic to human form; such imagery employed attributes; divine attendants and animal vehicles that we still recognise today and are found across the global diaspora. Examples of these ancient illustrations are found not only across South Asia; but also in Central and Southeast Asia; China and Japan - and they transformed the religious landscape of these regions too.The authors explore fascinating topics such as the first devotional illustrations of the twenty-four jinas (enlightened Jain teachers); the transformation from symbolic depictions of the Buddha to those that showed him in bodily form for the first time; and the formalisation of divine representations and devotional sculpture in Hindu traditions. This beautifully illustrated book reveals the ancient roots of the illustrations and depictions of these world religions that many will find familiar today.

Disoriented

2025/07/23 出版

'Desnortar', or disoriented, means to lose the north or the sense of direction, to disorient. In Disoriented a collective book from a gender perspective, we consciously seek to lose both the geographical north and the north of the contemporary art canon. We aim to rethink and disrupt, from feminist, LGTBQ+ and postcolonial approaches, the coordinates that have articulated the discourses on the art history and art system along the 20th and 21st centuries. Coordinates that define how these artistic practices and systems of modernity and the contemporary are understood, the cardinal directions and main conceptual issues, or which artists are relevant or expendable according to the narratives of avant-garde and contemporary art history. It is crucial to reinterpret and disorientate, to disnorth and thereby shatter these references to overcome the gaps that prevent the emergence of alternative knowledges. To address questions or artists often perceived as peripheral to a grand historical narrative, we propose an intersection of modern and contemporary art history, gender, feminist, queer and postcolonial approaches, and transnational interrelations. This intersectionality allows us to actively lose the north of the canon and to direct our gaze towards subjects outside the usual centres of legitimation. Mostly, we attend to women artists, to peripheral geographical centres, to subaltern collectives, or to practices or materials regularly considered of little artistic interest. All of the above critiques how conventional discourses have excluded some collectives or certain artistic proposals, and the resistances that have emerged against them.

Ancient Plaster

British Academy 出版
2025/07/22 出版

Ancient Plaster: Casting Light on a Forgotten Sculptural Material offers a fresh exploration of plaster in the sculpture of the ancient Mediterranean and beyond. Challenging the traditional focus on marble and bronze, this volume reveals the crucial role of plaster both in the sculptor's workshop and as a medium for finished sculpture. Combining academic insights with contemporary artists' perspectives, the book also delves into the controversial topic of life-casting in antiquity and provides groundbreaking new interpretations of well-known plaster objects such as those from the Roman city of Baiae, near Naples. With chapters extending the chronological and geographical scope to early modern Europe and contemporary art school contexts, the book illuminates plaster's versatility and the continuity of its use across millennia. By rehabilitating this material, often overlooked or lost to the archaeological record, the volume offers a transformative view of ancient sculpture, appealing to both scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
