Living Legacies: The History of East Asian Art Reconsidered
Conference on Saturday, July 10 to Monday, July 12, 2010
The conference “Living Legacies: The History of East Asian Art Reconsidered” will explore the latest theoretical and methodological trends as well as offer new insights into specific material, visual, aesthetic or ritual problems in the wider field of East Asian Art History. The aim is to introduce and discuss a set of new methodologies that can be usefully applied to advance the field.
Nineteen leading scholars in the disciplines of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese Art; Archaeology; Buddhist and Religious Studies; as well as Philosophy will critically review past and current approaches within their own fields of expertise by focusing on a particular object or text. By querying the legacies of the past, the invited scholars from Japan, China, the United States and Europe will map out the state of the field as a whole and open up new directions in an interdisciplinary, collaborative effort. Five panels focus on selected fields of inquiry: Picture Theories; Buddhist Culture — visual traditions; Buddhist Culture — textual and ritual traditions; New Perspectives in early Chinese archeology; and Material Cultures.
