Diaspora and Visual Culture; Representing Africans and Jews (Culture Work (Paperback))

Editorial Reviews Book Description

Diaspora and Visual Culture marks the increasing importance of diaspora as a means of understanding the new modes of postnational identity. In examining the visual culture of the "classic" African and Jewish diasporas, contributors address different aspects of the multiple viewpoints inherent in diasporic cultures. Two key introductory essays by Stuart Hall and the painter R.B. Kitaj highlight the intersections of diaspora and cultural identity. The subsequent pieces examine individual instances of diaspora as diverse as homosexuality in the Dreyfus Affair, the Caribbean-Jewish Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro, Yoruba diaspora art and performance in Brazil and New York, identity in the art of African-American women in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the formation of American, European and Israeli artistic identity and the possibility that queer culture is diasporic. About the Author Nicholas Mirzoeff is Associate Professor of Art and Comparative Literature at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He is the author of Bodyscape: Art, Modernity and the Ideal Figure, and the editor of The Visual Culture Reader (1998), both published by Routledge.
