The Oxford Handbook of Global Realisms

Realism is an artistic practice that aims to faithfully represent reality. Historically, it has been practiced across different media, from early pictorial art and epic oral narratives, through literature and visual arts, to film, music, and digital media. However, an understanding of what it means to "faithfully represent reality" is not universal; rather, it varies from culture to culture. The Oxford Handbook of Global Realisms approaches realism as a transnational, transhistorical, and intermedial global phenomenon. It brings the diversity of global realisms to the fore, showcasing previously underrepresented and marginalized theories, practices, forms, and media of realist cultural production.
