TCS E-Special Issue: Painting / Knowledge
E-Special Issue: Painting / Knowledge
Edited by Sunil Manghani, this e-special issue presents 35 articles from the archives of Theory, Culture & Society and Body & Society. Together, the articles position painting as a dynamic site of critical inquiry. The ‘painterly’ is approached not as a fixed historical genre but as an expansive and interdisciplinary field engaging with theory, affect, embodiment, memory, and political aesthetics. The contributions are organised across four thematic strands: Painting and the Political; Affect, Body, Gesture; Word, Image, Mediation; and Memory, Trauma, Image. The sections explore how painting intersects with questions of power, trauma, non-Western epistemologies, and sensory experience.
Sunil Manghani’s introduction is free to read.
