Course Description:
This course investigates modern and contemporary artists and art movements in East Asia by moving backward in time from the present to the mid-nineteenth century, when China, Korea, and Japan were forced into global trade arrangements by foreign powers. A backward-looking structure acknowledges our presentism but is still guided by the implicit question, how did the arts of China, Korea, and Japan as we know them today come to be? What role does East Asian identity play in the global contemporary art world? Which forms did modernism take in China, Japan, Korea, and the diaspora? How were traditionalist and modernist movements intertwined? Key concepts will include post-colonialism, Marxism, nationalism, socialism, gender, ethnicity, modernism, traditionalism, post-modernism, diaspora, etc. |
