"There are several issues dominant in current critical writing about art which reveal themselves in Robert Houle?s work - the function of the artist/theorist; spirituality in art; deconstruction and reconstruction; the search for authenticity; border cultures and mediation - amongst others. For more than ten years, Robert Houle?s work has been an advance notice of these textual deliberations. Each of the essays in this publication covers some of these same issues, but each essay adds a layer of consideration to Houle?s work. Shirley Madill as curator of the exhibition addresses social and political determinants in Robert Houle?s art, while Clara Hargittay?s comments deal with artistic and personal biography.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Robert J. Houle examines the history of faith among colonial Zulu Christians (known as amaKholwa,) in what would become South Africa, arguing that Africans successfully naturalized Christianity. Houle believes that before the religion could take hold, several aspects of Christianity needed to be 'translated' to fill critical gaps between existing African beliefs and Christian tradition. This dual identity was difficult to reconcile through much of Zulu Christian history, but ultimately transformed both the Zulu Christians and their adopted faith.…
