Synopsis

The late Tongan scholar Epeli Hau‘ofa wrote of the Pacific Ocean as a ‘Sea of Islands’. Rather than imagining a scattering of small, defined island states, he sketched a vast oceanic continentcharacterised by movement, exchange and cultural flow. It’s an idea that permeates Reborderingthe Archipelago: Asia-Pacific Exchanges, the second book in the Postnational Art Histories series. This collection of texts and imagesweaves an interconnected dialogue across the breadth of art practices, knowledges, research andscholarly work traversing the Asia-Pacific. Eschewing the definitive and conclusive, the essays,artworks and broad-ranging discussions that populate this book are points of embarkation. Thenotion of ‘rebordering’, in this sense, is inherently generative and postnational in its bearings. Whileonly scratching the surface of the Asia-Pacific’s activity, the publication reflects thediversity of practices and voices that resonate throughout the region. Refusing to conform to theWestern academic paradigm and its flat global world of knowledge, this is a book that foregroundsboth intergenerational knowledges from the past and new modes of listening, reading, sharing andresistance. With contributions by: Raqs Media Collective, Moonis Ahmad, Léuli Eshrāghi, Victoria Hunt, NatalieKing, Yuki Kihara, Helly Minarti, Tamarra,Yedija Awom, Ginoe and Mark Teh.  Edited by Danny Butt and Kurniawan Adi Saputro. Designed by Beaziyt Worcou. CoVA × Perimeter is a collaborative publishing program initiated by the Centre of Visual Art(2018–2023) at the University of Melbourne and independent publishing house Perimeter Editions.Foregrounding experimental and otherwise innovative discursive outputs from three key streamsof enquiry – Postnational Art Histories, Feminism and Intersectionality, and Art + Science – theprogram spans research-in-progress, academic dialogues, artist responses, and essays, workingto reframe scholarly research via a multiplicity of new perspectives and lenses. The PostnationalArt Histories series seeks out transnational and lateral contacts and resonances between artistsacross borders, examining the intersections between Indigenous, migrant, diasporic, postcolonial,global, and transcultural studies that reflect the contours of the emerging post-Western world.
