| book description |

How are the histories of art and fashion connected in the global context of worldâ€™s fairs? The contributors to this volume analyze the changing roles assumed by the arts, visual media, handicrafts, and artifacts and investigate the unifying conceptions of the â€ºGesamtkunstwerkâ€¹ in the framework of national representations at worldâ€™s fairs. They reflect the ambivalent status of Latin American re-/presentations and the artistic and curatorial strategies employed by representatives of (post)colonial or â€ºperipheralâ€¹ states. By focusing on transcultural style migrations and aesthetic discourses in a globalized art world, the volume provides a re-vision of international exhibitions and worldâ€™s fairs from the perspective of a critical art history.
