    This interlude follows the AAH conference, when all of the authors who contribute to the special journal edition are present. Their wide-ranging conversation covers the idea and possibilities of a polyphonic history of art. This interlude is a starting point, a jumping off point from where a group of authors, researchers and artists reflect on new ways of thinking about, and new ways of presenting, art history.

  • Miss Chief and the Art of Decolonial Tease

    Open AccessRenate DohmenARTICLEThird Text2024

    This discussion posits that the work of the Cree artist Kent Monkman offers a unique and potent contribution to the project of decolonisation rooted in an Indigenised context. Focusing on the parodic, art historical interventions of his artistic alter ego Miss Chief, it explores his art in view of 'transmotion', a crucial but often overlooked aspect of postindian tricksterism outlined by the Anishinaabe author Gerald Vizenor, as well as the posti…

  • Counter-epistemologies of the global South

    Renate DohmenARTICLESouth Asian Popular Culture2018References: 2

    The essay proposes that the female, pan-Indian tradition of drawing threshold designs offers the potential of articulating a counter-epistemology of the South that differences prevalent approaches to the post-colonial and the global in the visual field. Based on its Tamil variant, the multiple marginalization of this vernacular practice is argued as indicative of larger issues and the fact that none of the prevalent methodological frameworks for …

  • Encounters Beyond the Gallery

    Renate DohmenBOOKEncounters Beyond the Gallery2016Cited by: 1

Embracing a unique and experimental format, the book imagines encounters between the art works and art worlds of Rirkrit Tiravanija, Tamil women, the Shipibo-Conibo of Eastern Peru and a fiction…

  • Memsahibs and the “Sunny East”

    Open AccessRenate DohmenARTICLEVictorian Literature and Culture2012References: 8

    Millicent Pilkington, the daughter of a Lancashire industrialist in her early twenties, arrived in India in December 1893 and returned to England December 1894. We know about her trip, or her Year's Frivol in the Sunny East as she calls it, from the sumptuous album orné or commonplace book she compiled filling it with water colour sketches, photographs, autographs, dinner invitations, newspaper clippings, etc. The material is carefully arranged o…

  • The home in the world

    Open AccessRenate DohmenARTICLECultural Geographies2004Cited by: 6

    This article seeks to outline a performative reading of the Tamil version of the pan-Indian tradition of drawing threshold designs, an exclusively female practice seen as housework by the executing party. The argument put forward is that a reading of the practice in terms of a performative relation of 'home' and the 'world' as part of the Tamil cultural imaginary locates the 'home' not only in terms of a larger 'local' community but also within T…
