Description

In a modern world of exotic and desirable image, where the trade of cultural differences is becoming increasingly important folk art from Ayacucho in Peru conveys visual representations that reflect the imaginary of Indianness and at the same time, the contest. The book explores the genesis and evolution of the social category of Indianness retracing the steps of the passage of this production, the traditional ritual context the urban market and tourism, international migration processes in projects of contemporary ethnic art, to the on line marketplace. It thus reveals the complexity of the links between national and ethnic claims and the plot of academic and commercial interests that accompany the native place of this art - still relegated to the outside of the traditional histories of art - on the world market.
