SoSe 18: The Quest for the Exotic
Yoonjung Seo
Kommentar
This course examines how the Chinese empire, their barbarian neighbors, and further “exotic others” were socio-geographically defined and visually represented in East Asia, by focusing on paintings of envoys, tributaries, pictorial maps and depiction of foreigners circulated in the early modern period. A thorough analysis of these images illuminates how these images and artworks were used to confirm or contest the Sinocentric hierachy and worldview, how these were appropriated in China, Korea and Japan in accordance with their ideology and epistemology and how the increased interests in the ethnographic representations and cultural curiosity toward the world were visualized by Asian artists. The two broad issues addressed in this paper regard cultural exchanges among China, Korea, and Japan; the aesthetic traditions in shared pictorial language in East Asian visual culture, and the significance of these elements in the intellectual discourse and geopolitical contexts.
