Are the Arts of Asia Globalizable?
The Case of Japan, Lecture by Professor Shigemi Inaga
Friday, October 5, 2007
4:00 pm
MultiCultural Center Theatre, University of California Santa Barbara
Is the discipline of Japanese art history really compatible with that of
Western art history? To reply to this question, critical investigations of
the past foundation of the discipline are needed. Institutional problems
and past scholarship will be examined in connection with the difficulties
of translation.
Professor Shigemi INAGA, presently Kluge Scholar at the Library of
Congress, is Professor at International Research Center for Japanese
Studies in Kyoto, Japan. Winner of the 2001 Watsuji Tetsuro Culture Prize
and other honors, his many publications include The Orient of the Painting:
Orientalism to Japanese (1999). Prof. Inaga will present a version of his
provocative essay that appeared in Elkins, ed, Is Art History Global? (2007)
(Sponsored by the East Asian Studies Research Focus Group, Department of
the History of Art & Architecture, East Asian Languages and Cultural
Studies, the East Asian and Multicultural Centers and the IHC.)
