Reviews

An original and wide-ranging collection that unravels the complexities of the category of translation in Asian art and aesthetics. The varied contributions by art historians, anthropologists, and artists explore multiple Asian perspectives on the translation and interpretation of art both in theory and practice. This engaging and attractive book will be of enormous value to scholars and students of Asian art and aesthetics, cultural translation, and of globalization, art and aesthetics. James McHugh, Assistant Professor, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA Asia through Art and Anthropology highlights the lives of Asian visual artists through their life experiences and oeuvres, carving out a role for them as the negotiators of meaning in hybrid cultural situations. The book deepens our understanding of cultural expressions which are local yet transcultural, individualized yet cross borders. Arne Rokkum, Professor, Univesity of Oslo, Norway
