Anthology 'Décentrements' Charts Global Art Theory from 1950 to Present

Edited by Sophie Orlando, 'Décentrements. Art et mondialisation' is an anthology published by Éditions du Centre Pompidou that collects key texts on global art theory from 1950 to today. The volume traces sixty years of critical thought challenging Eurocentric art history, featuring writings by Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Édouard Glissant, Stuart Hall, and Raqs Media Collective. It addresses concepts such as creolization, hybridity, interculturality, identity, gender, decoloniality, and cosmopolitanism. The book aims to counter the standardization of references and forms, advocating for a pluralistic, transdisciplinary approach. Julie Crenn's review highlights the anthology's role as a research tool that brings together pioneering and essential texts often missing from university curricula due to translation delays.
