Description
In 2018 IndiaS Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, Inaugurated The WorldS Tallest Statue: A 597-Foot Figure Of Nationalist Leader Sardar Patel. Twice The Height Of The Statue Of Liberty, It Is But One Of Many Massive Statues Built Following IndiaS Economic Reforms Of The 1990S. In Gods In The Time Of Democracy Kajri Jain Examines How Monumental Icons Emerged As A Religious And Political Form In Contemporary India, Mobilizing The Concept Of Emergence Toward A Radical Treatment Of Art Historical Objects As Dynamic Assemblages. Drawing On A Decade Of Fieldwork At Giant Statue Sites In India And Its Diaspora And Interviews With Sculptors, Patrons, And Visitors, Jain Masterfully Describes How Public Icons Materialize The Intersections Between New Image Technologies, Neospiritual Religious Movements, Hindu Nationalist Politics, Globalization, And Dalit-Bahujan Verifications Of Equality And Presence. Centering The Ex-Colony In Rethinking Key Concepts Of The Image, Jain Demonstrates How These New Aesthetic Forms Entail A Simultaneously Religious And Political Retooling Of The Infrastructures Of The Sensible.
