Orientalism and Visual Culture

Edges of Empire is a timely reassessment of the history and
legacy of Orientalist art and visual culture through its focus on
the intersection between modernization, modernism and Orientalism.

* Covers indigenous art and agency, contemporary practices of
collection and display, and a survey of key Orientalist
tropes

* Contains original essays on new perspectives for scholars and
students of art history, architecture, museum studies and cultural
and postcolonial studies

* Highlights contested identities and new definitions of self
through topics such as 19th century monuments to Empire, cultural
cross-dressing, performance and display at the international
exhibitions, and contemporary museological practice.
