Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In this open-access text, Z. S. Strother uses ethnographic studies of individual mask cultures in Africa to dispute the assumptions that masks universally hide, reveal, or transform. In Western European languages, the word mask exerts a powerful presence as a figure of speech. To masquerade is to pretend to be someone or something one is not. By extension, unmasking is a heroic metaphor for exposing a hidden truth. In this volume, art historian Z. S. Strother counters that narrative, using African case studies to offer an alternative vision of masquerading. She explores the aesthetic emotions aroused by masks, or more precisely, by "dances of masks": joy, wonder, awe, fear, and the release of laughing out loud. She also investigates the uncannya sensation of "delicious shiveriness" triggered when familiar spaces and individuals become strange and changeable. Inspired by Strother's studies in Congo-Kinshasa, African Masks and Emotions takes a comparative perspective and moves emotion from the periphery to the center of analysis. In this open-access text, Z.S. Strother uses ethnographic studies of individual mask cultures in Africa to dispute the assumptions that masks universally hide, reveal, or transform.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Humor and Violence examines the rich history of portraying Europeans in Central African art in images ranging from heart-wrenching scenes of human trafficking to playful parodies of colonialists. Z. S. Strother contends that the dialectic of humor and violence reveals deep insights into the psychology of power and resistance that continues to operate in the region today. Her argument is built on a set of works of art and demonstrates the important role that patronage and political and social history played in their creation. Strother conveys Central African ideas about how the therapeutic power of humor can initiate social change and upset power relations between oppressors and oppressed. This analysis plunges seemingly benign figures into a maelstrom of violence and crime-rape, murder, torture, and forced labor on a massive scale. By restoring the dialectic of humor, it reveals the complicated psychological codependency of Africans and Europeans over a long period of history and maintains that art plays a mediating function in the mechanics and ethics of power.…
