"Being Chinese and Modern: Three Unlikely Case Studies"
Sarah Fraser gives a talk on the simultaneous development of three disciplines and an emerging nationalism.
When:
November 14, 2007 12:00am
Where
Sarah Fraser, Associate Professor, History of Art, Northwestern University
DATE: Wednesday, November 14, 2007
TIME: 4:15 PM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This talk will explore how Republican period (1912-1949) scholars developed new disciplines (archaeology, anthropology, ethnography) in tandem with an emerging nationalism. New technologies measured the past, its art and material culture, and ethnic groups thought to embody early cultures in their primitive states. The discussion focuses on the archaeological copying project of Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) who imagined the future of Chinese painting through its multiethnic, medieval form.
