African Masks and Emotions In Theory and in Practice (Getty Research Institute Council Lecture Series) [#1015539]
African Masks and Emotions: In Theory and in Practice (Getty Research Institute Council Lecture Series) by Z. S. Strother
English | December 23, 2025 | ISBN: 1606069934 | 160 pages | PDF | 45 Mb
In this groundbreaking book, Z. S.Strother, inspired by dialogues with African masquerade patrons and performers, disputes 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 uncanny―a sensation of "delicious shiveriness" triggered when familiar spaces and individuals become strange and changeable. Inspired by Strother's studies in DR Congo, African Masks and Emotions takes a comparative perspective and moves emotion from the periphery to the center of analysis.
