No Deal!

No Deal! Indigenous Arts and the Politics of Possession encompasses a diverse group of voices from Australia and North America in order to investigate social relations of possession through the artifacts and motifs of expressive culture. The contributorsartists, curators, art historians, and anthropologists speak from the standpoints of indigenous systems of knowledge as well as from western epistemologies and their institutions, interrogating what it means to own culture from these standpoints. The case studies in this volume contribute to notions of ownership and possession through the lens of art and its associated rights to production, circulation, performance, and representation.
