| 520 | |a "This book adroitly refers and relates to aesthetic, gender, money, power, possession, politics, difference and justice as they are played out on the body of the Other. The body becomes a battleground, especially the body of the Other, Drawing attention to the misrepresentation and reinterpretation of the aesthetics of Indian art, the author poses the in-between seductive space, to bring back the forgotten cosmic essence. Examining aesthetic creations--sensuous, passionate, erotic, immoral, the author discusses how the neo/post colonial Indians have not changed since the Victorian moral codes and today (how to the Other), what was primitive and barbaric has become trendy and exotic."--Pub. desc. | ||
