Women Homeworkers In Thailand’S Digital Economy, Kamolrat Intaratat Nov 2016

Women Homeworkers In Thailand’S Digital Economy, Kamolrat Intaratat

Journal of International Women's Studies

Home-based work (subcontracted work to be done at home) is widespread in all regions of Thailand. Most homeworkers use their houses as the workplace for producing textiles and garments, wood products, basketry, artificial flower making, food processing, leather goods and plastics, metal products and jewellery, and then deliver them to the employers or business mediators. This is not the same as production for direct sale. In 2007, the National Statistical Office (NSO) reported that out of the 249,290 households, there were 440,251 people earning their livelihoods through homeworking. Of this number, 337,526 or slightly more than three quarters of them …

Rural Women Artists: A Visual Analysis Of The Mural Art Forms Of Santhal Pargana, Jharkhand, India, Pallavi Rani, D. Udaya Kumar, Saheb Ram Tudu, Shilpi Bora

Journal of International Women's Studies

Women are the pioneers of traditional mural art practices in rural India. Warli art, Gond art, and Madhubani paintings are examples of their artworks. The women belonging to the Santhal region in eastern India, are highly skilled in rich rural vernacular art. Murals are generally created by them during local festivals and marriage ceremonies. The women of six districts that comprise the Santhal Pargana (Dumka, Godda, Deoghar, Jamtara, Pakur and Sahibganj), decorate their mud houses during these occasions with visual borders and motifs.

A pilot study was carried out with the women artists to research these murals. The framework for …


Signatures Of A Collective Self: A Study Of Select Contemporary Women Artists From South India, Lakshmi Priya Daniel Nov 2016

Signatures Of A Collective Self: A Study Of Select Contemporary Women Artists From South India, Lakshmi Priya Daniel

Journal of International Women's Studies

This article attempts to reclaim the status of women artists of South India by a process of recovery and inclusion. The aspect of their marginalisation from mainstream art and subsequent disappearance from the annals of Indian art history has been examined. Further, the reasons for this disappearance are investigated in terms of the overarching notion of gender, embedded in social and cultural parameters. The article locates the manner in which these women artists are affected by familial, institutional and social systems and explores the experiences of the women artists in terms of their multiple roles. This can lead to an …


Feminizing Responsibility? Women’S ‘Invisible’ Labor And Sub-Contracted Production In South India, K. Kalpana Nov 2016

Feminizing Responsibility? Women’S ‘Invisible’ Labor And Sub-Contracted Production In South India, K. Kalpana

Journal of International Women's Studies

Since the 1980s and 1990s, there has been growing global recognition and endorsement of women as economic actors whose income-earning activities contribute to the survival and livelihood security of impoverished households and communities in many parts of the developing world. Women’s economic contribution is considered particularly valuable when population groups living below the income-poverty line have struggled to cope with the adverse social effects of neo-liberal economic reforms. Given this backdrop, the aim of this study is to examine closely women’s experience of laboring in the lower end of the informal labor sector, their workspace negotiations and conditions of labor, …


Teaching Authorship, Gender And Identity Through Grrrl Zines Production, Sara Gabai Nov 2016

Teaching Authorship, Gender And Identity Through Grrrl Zines Production, Sara Gabai

Journal of International Women's Studies

Zines are self- published, non-commercial magazines that range in size, form and genre, and that tackle the most disparate issues including stories from everyday life. While academia has been reluctant to bring zines within the classroom due to their non-academic layout, multitude of styles, broken grammar, strong tones and content, this paper explains what brings zines into existence and how the latter give girls and women a chance to produce and write culture while creating new spaces of resistance. It will also investigate the politics of writing, the contradictions in grrrl zines, and their potential in displacing the boundaries of …

Index Of The Disappeared: Representing The Invisible South, Bindu Bhadana Nov 2016

Index Of The Disappeared: Representing The Invisible South, Bindu Bhadana

Artl@s Bulletin

Jacques Rancière states that an aesthetic politics defines itself by a recasting of the distribution of the sensible, my text applies Rancière's statement in its analysis of Index of the Disappeared (2004-), a project created by two diasporic artists from the Global South based in the US. Chitra Ganesh and Mariam Ghani productively use the gaps in de-classified post 9/11 documents to make visible the excluded and marginalized voices from contemporary politics and society in the North.

South Ways - Art Undercurrents Across The South, Kevin D. Murray Nov 2016

South Ways - Art Undercurrents Across The South, Kevin D. Murray

Artl@s Bulletin

A series of projects attempted to explore a southern perspective for global visual art. The South Project was a series of gatherings across the latitude to develop a south-south network and conversation. This was followed by an intellectual push through Southern Theory to diversity academic frameworks beyond the trans-Atlantic. The application of this to visual arts was explored with the project South Ways, which involved developing particular verbs for creative engagements - to bestow, to open, to swap and to glean. Such ventures involve a promise yet to be realised - that the orientation of visual arts towards the South …


Biennale D’Art Bantu Contemporain : Passeport Ethnique Et Circulations Artistiques En Afrique Sub-Sahélienne, Nora Greani Nov 2016

Biennale D’Art Bantu Contemporain : Passeport Ethnique Et Circulations Artistiques En Afrique Sub-Sahélienne, Nora Greani

Artl@s Bulletin

Hosted by four African capitals and designed as a turn-over by Africans of « their » history, the Biennale of Contemporary Bantu Art created in 1985 is an emblematic example of transnational artistic exchanges not dominated by the colonial powers. Each of its seven editions were based on a simple premise, yet subject to controversy: the existence of a common culture between the Bantu. This article studies this event focusing to highlight the historical and political context in which it occurs. Through the analysis of various aspects of the Bantu Biennale, we will identify the extent of the identity (or …


The Biennial Of Dakar And South-South Circulations, Thomas Fillitz Nov 2016

The Biennial Of Dakar And South-South Circulations, Thomas Fillitz

Artl@s Bulletin

The Biennale of Dakar is considered as a particular site for examining South-South circulations of artworks. Being the biennial of contemporary African art, only artists from Africa and its Diaspora are eligible for its central, international exhibition. Several factors, however, are strongly influencing these selections, among others the Biennale’s specific selection procedures, as for instance the appointment of the members of the selection committee. Considering critical voices of local artists about the Biennale’s performance will lead to discussing several problems that affect South-South circulations of artworks.


Literary And Theatrical Circulations In The Democratic Republic Of Congo, Rwanda And Burundi, From The Belgian Colonial Empire To The Africa Of The Great Lakes., Maëline Le Lay Nov 2016

Literary And Theatrical Circulations In The Democratic Republic Of Congo, Rwanda And Burundi, From The Belgian Colonial Empire To The Africa Of The Great Lakes., Maëline Le Lay

Artl@s Bulletin

This article on literary and theatrical circulations in Africa’s Great Lakes region begins by retracing the history of these practices, taking several examples from the colonial period. It then analyzes contemporary modalities of the circulation of texts (via procedures such as reprising narrative patterns and adaptation), and cultural actors, in the different transnational arts networks that are more or less closely tied to the humanitarian sector, or to international cooperation. Finally, it proposes a critical questioning of the concept of artistic circulation.


Style Migrations: South-South Networks Of African Fashion, Victoria L. Rovine Nov 2016

Style Migrations: South-South Networks Of African Fashion, Victoria L. Rovine

Artl@s Bulletin

Fashion design from Africa and by African designers provides a rich source of information about south-south networks of influence and inspiration. Using several case studies, this article explores the products of cultural interactions between Africa and other world regions, and between cultures within Africa, to illuminate south-south networks of innovation. Case studies include the work of Sakina M’Sa, Maimouna Diallo, and the distinctive embroidery of northern Mali known as “Ghana Boy” style.


The Gentleman, The Craftsman And The Activist: Three Figures Of The Sino-Indian Artistic Exchange In Colonial Bengal, Nicolas Nercam Nov 2016

The Gentleman, The Craftsman And The Activist: Three Figures Of The Sino-Indian Artistic Exchange In Colonial Bengal, Nicolas Nercam

Artl@s Bulletin

This article analyses some aspects of the Chinese-Indian exchanges, which took place in the first half of the 20th century, in the artistic circle of Calcutta and Shantiniketan, in Bengal. From the beginning of the last century, the Bengali elite was under the influence of Okakura Kakuzo’s Pan-Asian theories, in its approach to Chinese art. From the 20’s, under the auspices of Rabindranath Tagore the first direct contact between Chinese and Indian artistes took place and lasted until the 40’s. From the 30’s, the Bengali avant-garde, in its search of a new aesthetic in relation with social and political …


Śāntiniketan And Modern Southeast Asian Art: From Rabindranath Tagore To Bagyi Aung Soe And Beyond, Yin Ker Nov 2016

Śāntiniketan And Modern Southeast Asian Art: From Rabindranath Tagore To Bagyi Aung Soe And Beyond, Yin Ker

Artl@s Bulletin

Through the example of Bagyi Aung Soe, Myanmar’s leader of modern art in the twentieth century, this essay examines the potential of Śāntiniketan’s pentatonic pedagogical program embodying Rabindranath Tagore’s universalist and humanist vision of an autonomous modernity in revitalizing the prevailing unilateral and nation-centric narrative of modern Southeast Asian art. It brings into focus the program’s keystones on the modern, art and the artist, which have been pivotal in discoursing on the Burmese alumnus of the ashram-turned-university, and explores how the same might be applicable to fellow artists in Myanmar and the region.


Sud-Sud. Trop Politique ?, Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel Nov 2016

Sud-Sud. Trop Politique ?, Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel

Artl@s Bulletin

La référence à un axe Sud-Sud est devenue très politique, en particulier lorsqu’elle s’exprime sur des scènes mondiales – où les ennemis sont présents, et où les pays du puissant Nord ont une présence obsédante. On peut se réjouir de cette dissension. Elle nourrit des identités partagée, et des projets de justice indispensables. Mais elle a aussi ses pans aveugles. Dans notre contexte académique, le surmoi postcolonial et décolonial est devenu lourd, parfois trop lourd ; et producteur de poncifs. Travailler sur les circulations artistiques « Suds-Suds » en commençant par étudier des circulations, suivre des objets et leurs resémantisations, …
