{"product_id":"mimesis-across-empires-natasha-eaton-9780822354802","title":"Mimesis Across Empires: Artworks and Networks in India, 1765-1860","description":"In \u003ci\u003eMimesis Across Empires\u003c\/i\u003e, Natasha Eaton examines the interactions, attachments, and crossings between the visual cultures of the Mughal and British Empires during the formative period of British imperial rule in India. Eaton explores how the aesthetics of Mughal \"vernacular\" art and British \"realist\" art mutually informed one another to create a hybrid visual economy. By tracing the exchange of objects and ideas--between Mughal artists and British collectors, British artists and Indian subjects, and Indian elites and British artists--she shows how Mughal artists influenced British conceptions of their art, their empire, and themselves, even as European art gave Indian painters a new visual vocabulary with which to critique colonial politics and aesthetics. By placing her analysis of visual culture in relation to other cultural encounters--ethnographic, legislative, diplomatic--Eaton uncovers deeper intimacies and hostilities between the colonizer and the colonized, linking artistic mimesis to the larger colonial project in India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natasha Eaton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822354802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822354802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014","brand":"Natasha Eaton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072824340735,"sku":"9780822354802","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49c68a49-4fa7-4809-85ce-53c05ead22c6.jpg?v=1685444145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mimesis-across-empires-natasha-eaton-9780822354802","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
