Into the Wild: Art and Architecture in a Global Context

Into the Wild is dedicated to the much-discussed research field of 'Art History in a Global Context.' How can objects of art and architecture be viewed in a new or different way and which theoretical approaches can be useful in achieving this purpose? Which methods are suitable for discussing issues of transfer, mobility, migration and identity? Fourteen essays address these and other questions by investigating various objects situated across different temporal and cultural contexts. Moving beyond antagonisms such as high and low or center and periphery, the essays focus instead on phenomena of translation, appropriation and site specificity.
