{"product_id":"world-art-history-and-its-david-carrier-9780271034157","title":"A World Art History and Its Objects","description":"\u003cp\u003eIs writing a world art history possible? Does the history of art as such even exist outside the Western tradition? Is it possible to consider the history of art in a way that is not fundamentally Eurocentric? In this highly readable and provocative book, David Carrier, a philosopher and art historian, does not attempt to write a world art history himself. Rather, he asks the question of how an art history of all cultures could be written-or whether it is even possible to do so. He also engages the political and moral issues raised by the idea of a multicultural art history. Focusing on a consideration of intersecting artistic traditions, Carrier negotiates the way meaning and understanding shift or are altered when a visual object from one culture, for example, is inserted into the visual tradition of another culture. A World Art History and Its Objects proposes the use of temporal narrative as a way to begin to understand a multicultural art history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Carrier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271034157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271034157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.01w x 0.58d","brand":"David Carrier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913535750399,"sku":"9780271034157","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ac028046-5d25-4925-9786-ad98347de649.jpg?v=1680620912","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/world-art-history-and-its-david-carrier-9780271034157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
