A New Thoughtfulness in Contemporary China: Critical Voices in Art and Aesthetics
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars
()
About this ebook
Globalization euphoria and enthusiasm for the West are on the decline in contemporary China. Critical voices make themselves heard in artistic and cultural circles, turning towards their personal everyday lives to take stock. Their questions revolve around concrete experiences in the radical upheaval of lifeworlds, the continued significance of traditions after many of them have been thoroughly uprooted, and the paradoxes produced by the predominance of neo-liberalism. The 17 positions assembled in this volume provide a vivid illustration of such a »new thoughtfulness« in a wide variety of aspects ranging from aesthetics and art to theatre and photography.

20세기 한국 미술에서 모방의 문제는 모든 근심의 근원이었다. 한국 미술의 역사가 서구 미술운동에 시차를 둔 반복일 뿐 자체의 뿌리를 갖는 자율적 전개가 아니라는 생각은 한국 미술 자체에 대한 비판과 우려, 자조와 체념으로 이어지곤 했다. 서구 미술의 담론, 제도, 테크놀로지의 도입을 통해 본격화되었기에 비롯된 한국 미술의 식민적 상황은 의지로 타개할 수 없는 구조적이고 항상적인 것이었다. 일제강점기를 벗어나 이제야 이 땅의 미술을 제약 없이
