On Decoloniality and Restitution: Invoking Ganesha in Cambodia Today
Following the lead of a monumental Khmer statue of the god Ganesha, this essay probes the unsettled and unsettling phenomenon of (de)coloniality at work in restitution today. It is of concern that colonial conservation of Khmer ‘art’ laid the ground for its postcolonial market exploitation; and that, in following on from decolonisation, restitution may only appear to lead to decoloniality, when in fact it comprises a seamless return to an old ord…

What's the Use of Art?: Asian Visual and Material Culture in Context
Post-Enlightenment notions of culture, which have been naturalized in the West for centuries, require that art be autonomously beautiful, universal, and devoid of any practical purpose.

From tea bowls used in the Japanese tea ceremony to television br…

This s…

Terrible but Unfinished: Stories of History
Terrible but Unfinished:Stories of History Ashley Thompson (bio) Abstract This article argues that Hélène Cixous’s fictions develop a poetics of autoethnography. It argues further that this poetics explores undersides of the modern discourse of the sublime as well as limits of the authorial “I” that has been engendered by this discourse. Through a metafiction of “ghostwriting,” on the one hand, and a fiction of the peopled “I,” on the other, Cixo…
