Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This anthology on the material culture and artistic practices in Deccani Hyderabad brings forth the materiality of underrepresented voices entangled with histories, archives, architecture, lives of images and intangible knowledge production. Uniquely positioned, this book weaves together the research methodologies of art, historical studies, ethnography and artistic practices.
Another Hyderabad in Deccan discusses the embodied network of artisanal practices in Hyderabad, the palimpsest of cultivated and collected material culture. The nine essays in the book, which are in conversation with memories of the people, photographic records, scribbles, maps, assimilating histories, biographies, habitual practices, and experiential knowledge, reflect upon the unconfessed visual repository of Hyderabad as a way of survival.
The recent art and historical studies on South Asia, especially the region and the city, have directed attention to the relevance of ecology and artistic practices. Yet, a critical consideration of the lineage between material, communities, art and ethnography remains missing. The book deals with the dusty, shadowy, grey and unacknowledged areas of visual and material culture: their historicity and contemporaneity, while presenting a range of directions and methodological interventions for conducting archival and interactive investigations.
While offering the scope of newer research on the Deccan region, the anthology provides comprehensive knowledge to students in regional, cultural and art historical studies, opens up diverse range of methodologies to assist young researchers studying South Asian visual and material culture, and foregrounds resources to the professional and entrepreneur involved in cultural industries, community engagement, and artisanal development policies.
