Author Description

"The notion of 'Eurasia' evokes many different images and ideas across geological, ideological, cultural, ethnic and artistic paradigms. From the ancient world to the cultural horizons to come, this landmass of the 'old world' that long predates constructs of 'Europe' and 'Asia' has been host to flows of exchange and movement for millennia. Amidst the rapid failure of the unipolar world after 1989, we see the re-emergence of Eurasia as a multipolar horizon. How might we navigate these shifting tectonic plates? The publication Eurasia - an atlas surveys the landscape of the Eurasian supercontinent from the perspective of the artistic sphere. It maps Eurasia through twenty-two keywords, offering a compendium for reflections across the fields of art, cultural theory and philosophy. The book is a valuable resource for focusing our attention on the emerging reality of the twenty-first century and points us towards finding shape for a new progressive internationalism"--Back cover.
