Colloquium Series „The Rothermund Memorial Lectures” - Session 2: „Potential stories: Tracking the lives of concepts in global (art) history.” - Monica Juneja - HCTS, Heidelber

The lecture explores the trajectories of
concepts that migrate and take roots in
different settings. What are the potential
stories, beyond a tale of epistemic violence,
that could be told when concepts are recast,
once disconnected from their place of
origin? A globally oriented art history strives
to break free of an exclusive dependence
on lexical definitions, to instead investigate
the agency of the visual and the material
in processes of meaning making. The
concept of primitivism, defined as the
alter ego of artistic modernism travelled
with colonialism to those places that the
modernist imaginary had envisioned as the
location of the primitive. My talk traces its
vicissitudes within modernist art practice in
South Asia, to query its conceptual staying
power.
