In the 1990s, a new wave of globalization changed the field of cultural production in many African countries and paved the way for major new cultural events. In particular, during the last two decades, an ever growing series of art and cultural centers were and still are being established - often against the background of broader national (art) histories and the historic prominence of the state as the primary patron of the arts. In considering the historical genealogy of these 'new spaces, ' this book examines: the infrastructures and public spaces they create, the theoretical discourses they tap into and explore, the aesthetic and (cultural) political debates they stir, the role they play in the field of cultural institutions and cultural activism, and their relations with state and municipal institutions.

The Middle East has been undergoing new crises since the powerful socio-political uprisings known as the Arab Spring took place in several countries in 2011. Some countries are experiencing a long-term collapse of their political and social structures out of internal conflicts and external interventions. The Transnational Middle East posits that, in the Middle East, the development of regional dynamics, of processes and circulations of all kinds, can be documented. In this regard, the approaches it develops — ‘bottom-up’ regionalisation, ‘globalisation from below’ — allow for a better understanding of the ways in which the Middle East is part of global transformations. The book analyses how, through their practices, Middle East societies elaborate a regional space which is not institutionalised. Based on fieldwork in the Middle East, the book provides venues for further theoretical elaboration on globalisation and contemporary societies, as well as on processes of regionalisation. It draws on the emergence of genuine regional spaces of culture, art, economic activity, human circulation — which supplement and do not contradict other infra-national, national, or global social processes. As in other areas of the world, these transformations are to a large extent the mode of the Middle East’s insertion into globalisation. In this respect, they go against standard narratives of the supposed ‘exceptionalism’ of the region. This book will be a great contribution to comparative politics, Middle Eastern studies, globalisation and international relations.

Die zeitgenössische Kunst in Tansania und Uganda spiegelt sowohl die Vielfalt der afrikanischen Kulturen als auch westliche Einflüsse wider. Der vorliegende Band analysiert Tansanias Kunstszene und stellt beispielhaft den tansanischen Künstler George Lilanga vor, der seinen eigenen, Tradition und Moderne verbindenden Stil aus den Shetani-(Teufel-)Figuren der Makonde-Skulpturen entwickelte. Gegenübergestellt wird Uganda mit dem Künstler George Kyeyune, dessen Kunst den Alltag in Uganda und das Christentum thematisiert und dabei auf traditionelle Objekte zurückgreift. Auch wird auf die Bedeutung einer der bekanntesten Kunstschulen der Kolonialzeit in Afrika, der Makerere-Schule, für die ostafrikanische Kunstgeschichte eingegangen. Schließlich gibt der Band einen Überblick über die Gegenwartskunst in Ostafrika, ihre beiden wichtigsten Kunststile und ihre Bedeutung für die Künstlerinnen und Künstler in der globalen Kunstwelt.

Annette Schemmel provides a highly illuminating case study of the major actors, discourses and paradigm that shaped the history of visual arts in Cameroon during the second part of the 20th century. Her book meticulously reconstructs the multiple ways of artistic knowledge acquisition from the consolidation of the Systme de Grands Frres in the 1970s to the emergence of more discursively oriented small artists initiatives which responded to the growing NGO market of social practice art opportunities in the 2000s. Based on archival research, participant observation and in depth interviews with art practitioners in Douala and Yaound, this study is a must read for everyone who wants to better understand the vibrant artistic scenes in countries like Cameroon, which until today lack a proper state-funded infrastructure in the arts.
