{"product_id":"transcultural-encounters-siobhzan-shilton-9780719087103","title":"Transcultural Encounters: Gender and Genre in Franco-Maghrebi Art","description":"Art since the 1980s reveals a striking proliferation of works exploring the complex cross-cultural identities that have resulted from a long history of exchange between France and the Maghreb. This adventurous study examines distinctively visual means of presenting 'Franco-Maghrebi' identities in performance, video, photography and installation art. Transcultural encounters investigates the ways in which such art spurs a re-thinking of both postcolonial and feminist issues and critical terms in an uneven globalised frame. It demonstrates how this corpus develops art historical debates concerning gender and representation, while also considering emerging visions of the Maghreb. Analysing a wide range of works presented in galleries, online or in the street, this study shows how they test the boundaries of established art genres, calling for the invention of new modalities of 'reading' transnational visual culture. The first book to explore postcolonial and feminist approaches to contemporary art from a 'Francophone' space, Transcultural encounters incorporates much material that has previously received little critical attention. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book will be of interest to researchers in French studies, postcolonial studies, visual studies and gender studies, as well as curators and artists working across cultures and media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Siobhán Shilton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719087104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719087103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Siobhán Shilton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48587644993791,"sku":"9780719087103","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6284b7f-ab8e-41e8-b11a-f1ac26ae6d99.jpg?v=1780169483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transcultural-encounters-siobhzan-shilton-9780719087103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
