<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Contemporary Art, World Cinema, and Visual Culture: Essays by Hamid Dabashi brings together the work of a theorist of modern and contemporary arts to map out more universal issues of concern to art theory and criticism. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Contemporary Art, World Cinema, and Visual Culture: Essays by Hamid Dabashi is a collection of writings by the acclaimed cultural critic and scholar. A thorough Introduction rigorously frames chapters and identifies in Dabashi's writings a comprehensive approach, which forms the criteria for selecting the essays for the volume. The Introduction also teases out of these essays the overarching theme that holds them together, the manner they inform a particularly critical angle in them and the way they cohere. The Introduction dwells on the work of one scholar, public intellectual and theorist of modern and contemporary arts to extrapolate more universal issues of concern to art criticism in general. These scattered materials and their underlying theoretical and critical logic are a unique contribution to the field of modern and contemporary arts.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Hamid Keshmirshekan is an art historian, critic, senior teaching fellow at the Department of History of Art and Archaeology, School of Arts, and research associate at the London Middle East Institute, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.
