Examining painting, photography, illustration, sculpture and architecture from 1770 to 1930, authors explore art that shaped, negotiated, and represented transculturation in the British Empire and in countries under British colonial influences (Congo, Japan, and Turkey). Authors analyze works'' cross-cultural meanings in two transcultural dimensions: changing interpretations of single works over time for colonial and postcolonial spectators, and across space in works'' replications or multiples in both metropole and colonial spaces.
Examining colonial art through the lens of transculturation, the essays in this collection assess painting, sculpture, photography, illustration and architecture from 1770 to 1930 to map these art works'' complex and unresolved meanings illuminated by the concept of transculturation. Authors explore works in which transculturation itself was being defined, formed, negotiated, and represented in the British Empire and in countries subject to British influence (the Congo Free State, Japan, Turkey) through cross-cultural encounters of two kinds: works created in the colonies subject over time to colonial and to postcolonial spectators'' receptions, and copies or multiples of works that traveled across space located in several colonies or between a colony and the metropole, thus subject to multiple cultural interpretations.
