    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.

    Long description:

    This companion comprises essays that analyze interactions between art and global imperial relationships from 1800 to World War II.


    The essays in this volume expose and add to historical layers of meaning in their discussions of art and empire. Found across much of the globe, sites of sedimentary rock allegorize the dynamics of art and empire and frame the section structure for this book. Twenty?two authors unpack imperial layers in a variety of global and historical contexts through case studies that center art and visual and material culture. The authors show how art and aesthetics have operated as tools of empire. Interpreting a comprehensive array of media as well as inter?media dialogues, they analyze and intervene in how we remember and examine entwinements between empire and aesthetic practices. In this volume?s attention to the role of art in imperial formation, as well as the legacy of colonization, the essays disentangle sediments of culture as they are moved and shaped by homogenizing forces of empire, showing that the aesthetics of empire inflect not only individuals, makers, and economies, but also practices of circulation and collecting.


    The book will be of interest to graduate students, researchers, and professors and may be used in classes focused on art history, imperialism, and colonialism.
