This volume takes the process of seeing as its focus—to look closely remaining true to the object but also to see widely—from multiple subjective stances and diverse bodily engagements such as walking to dreaming glancing to looking askance hypnotic stares and to see beyond the visible. It examines art history through nuanced considerations of materiality aesthetics and regional specificities. The essays emerge from current research that builds on the contributions of Michael W. Meister W. Norman Brown Distinguished Professor of History of Art and South Asia Studies at the University of Pennsylvania whose works laid the foundations for the study of South Asian visual and material culture.
