Hard Bound . New. 988 Cultural History of Early South Asia: A Reader presents a wide-ranging survey of the diverse art forms of early South Asia. In doing so, it departs from the dominant tendency of treating the arts as static 'heritage of the past' with just exhibition value, and instead perceives them as dynamic processes of meaning and communication in the past. It connects cultural production with ordinary life, to explore the various roles which literature and visual arts played in the lives of their communities. Here, art is investigated as objects of aesthetic enjoyment, but also as creations of rhetorical or philosophical moment, as well as of utilitarian value. Through its broad chronological sweep covering the earliest specimens of cultural expression like the prehistoric rock paintings of Bhimbetka; the ornaments of the Harappan culture; the frescoes and rock-cut temples of Ajanta and Ellora; the Pali Jatakas, and South Asian folklore, the book argues for a variety of audiences in ancient and early medieval South Asia. Bringing together authoritative voices on South Asian history, archaeology and literature, the book presents complementary views which will help in understanding the popular dimensions of the subcontinent's art and culture. It will acquaint its readership with fundamental contributions to the region's art history, and yet do so in a way that questions and opens up received wisdom, and initiates a new understanding of early cultural processes. Scholarly, yet accessible, it will be of enduring relevance for researchers, students of history and cultural studies, as well as lay readers interested in the artistic traditions of South Asia.

Eloquent Spaces adopts the twin analytic of meaning and community to write a fresh history of building in early India. It presents a new perspective on the principles and practices of early Indian architecture. Defining it broadly over a range of space uses, the book argues for architecture as a form of cultural production as well as public consumption. Ten essays by leading archaeologists, architects, historians and philosophers, examining different architectural sites and landscapes, including Sanchi, Moodabidri, Srinagar, Chidambaram, Patan, Konark, Basgo, and Puri, demonstrate the need to look beyond the built form to its spirit, beyond aesthetics to cognition, and thereby to integrating architecture with its myriad living contexts. The volume captures some of the semantic diversity inherent in premodern Indian traditions of civic building, both sacred and secular, which were, however, unified in their insistence on enacting meaning and a transcendent validity over and above utility and beauty of form. The book is a quest for a culturally rooted architecture as an alternative to the growing crisis of disembededness that informs modern praxis. This volume will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of architecture, ancient Indian history, philosophy, art history, and cultural studies., Hardcover, Edition: 1, Label: Routledge India, Routledge India, Product group: Book, Published: 2019-06-07, Release date: 2019-06-07, Studio: Routledge India.

Key Features: Cultural History of Early South Asia: A Reader presents a wide-ranging survey of the art forms of ancient and early medieval South Asia. Through its broad chronological sweep covering the prehistoric rock paintings of Bhimbetka, the ornaments from the Harappan culture, the frescoes and rock-cut temples of Ajanta and Ellora, the Pali Jatakas and South Asian folklore, the book argues for a multiplicity of audiences in early South Asia. Departing from the tendency of treating arts as static 'heritage of the past' with just exhibition value, it perceives them as dynamic processes of meaning and communication in the past. Here art is investigated as objects of aesthetic enjoyment, but also as creations of rhetorical or philosophical significance, as well as utilitarian value. It argues that in early South Asia there was not a single tradition, but plural traditions in every branch of culture, variously intersecting or diverging but always interacting.
