The politics of collecting : race and the aestheticization of property / by Kim, Eunsong,author.(CARDINAL)894515; Duke University Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)290492;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In The Politics of Collecting, Eunsong Kim traces how racial capitalism and colonialism situated the rise of US museum collections and conceptual art forms. Investigating historical legal and property claims, she argues that regimes of expropriation-rather than merit or good taste-is responsible for popular ideas of formal innovation and artistic genius. In doing so, she details how Marcel Duchamp's canonization has more to do with his patron's donations to museums than it does the quality of Duchamp's work, and uncovers the racialized and financialized logic behind the Archive of New Poetry's collecting practices. Ranging from the conception of philanthropy devised by the robber barons of the late nineteenth century to ongoing digitization projects, Kim provides a new history of contemporary art that accounts for the complicated entanglement of race, capital, and labor behind storied art institutions and artists. Drawing on history, theory, and economics, Kim challenges received notions of artistic success and talent and calls for a new vision of art beyond the cultural institution"--

Secular Buddhism : imagining the Dharma in an uncertain world / by Batchelor, Stephen,author.(CARDINAL)519783;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 255-271) and index.Introduction. In search of a voice -- Looking for Nanavīra. Existence, enlightenment, and suicide ; "A much younger man, but no less charming" -- Buddhism 2.0. A secular Buddhism -- Thinking out loud. Rebirth : a case for Buddhist agnosticism ; Creating sangha ; The agnostic Buddhist ; The other enlightenment project ; What's wrong with conversion? ; Limits of agnosticism ; A secular Buddhist ; A mindful nation? -- Conversations. The eclectic cleric ; Study and practice ; After Buddhism -- Art and imagination. A convenient fiction ; A democracy of the imagination ; Seeing the light ; A cosmos of found objects ; An aesthetics of emptiness.As the practice of mindfulness permeates mainstream Western culture, more and more people are engaging in a traditional form of Buddhist meditation. However, many of these people have little interest in the religious aspects of Buddhism, and the practice occurs within secular contexts such as hospitals, schools, and the workplace. Is it possible to recover from the Buddhist teachings a vision of human flourishing that is secular rather than religious without compromising the integrity of the tradition? Is there an ethical framework that can underpin and contextualize these practices in a rapidly changing world? In this collected volume of Stephen Batchelor's writings on these themes, he explores the complex implications of Buddhism's secularization. Ranging widely-from reincarnation, religious belief, and agnosticism to the role of the arts in Buddhist practice-he offers a detailed picture of contemporary Buddhism and its attempt to find a voice in the modern world.
