Modernism and the Art of Muslim South Asia
This pioneering work traces the emergence of the modern and contemporary art of Muslim South Asia in relation to transnational modernism and in light of the region’s intellectual, cultural, and political developments. Art historian Iftikhar Dadi here explores the art and writings of major artists, men and women, ranging from the late colonial period to the era of independence and beyond. He looks at the stunningly diverse artistic production of key artists associated with Pakistan, including Abdur Rahman Chughtai, Zainul Abedin, Shakir Ali, Zubeida Agha, Sadequain, Rasheed Araeen, and Naiza Khan. Dadi shows how, beginning in the 1920s, these artists addressed the challenges of modernity by...
Sovereign Attachments
Sovereign Attachments rethinks sovereignty by moving it out of the exclusive domain of geopolitics and legality and into cultural, religious, and gender studies. Through a close reading of a stunning array of cultural texts produced by the Pakistani state and the Pakistan-based Taliban, Shenila Khoja-Moolji theorizes sovereignty as an ongoing attachment that is negotiated in public culture. Both the state and the Taliban recruit publics into relationships of trust, protection, and fraternity by summoning models of Islamic masculinity, mobilizing kinship metaphors, and marshalling affect. In particular, masculinity and Muslimness emerge as salient performances through which sovereign attachments are harnessed. The book shifts the discussion of sovereignty away from questions about absolute dominance to ones about shared repertoires, entanglements, and co-constitution.
The Colonial and National Formations of the National College of Arts, Lahore, circa 1870s to 1960s
Utilizing archival sources, this book examines the formation and evolution of the National College of Arts (NCA) in Lahore, a pivotal institution shaping the art, architecture, and design landscape of contemporary Pakistan since the 19th century. Theoretical analysis reveals how the NCA, as a bureaucratic entity, has influenced the development of design schools, museums, and artistic practices in both British India and Pakistan, initially under the influence of British art education from South Kensington. The study traces the institution's history from its metropolitan European roots during the British colonial period through the American restructuring of art education administration and pedagogy in the early years of independence. It explores how frameworks of art history and anthropology have been used to construct and objectify Pakistani art and artists. By deconstructing these disciplinary frameworks, the book sheds light on how imperial and nationalist discourses have intersected to influence and redefine artistic and cultural identities within Pakistan.
