The Transcultural Studies Division holds an intensive lecture course entitled “Aesthetics, Materiality, and Politics: An Intensive Introduction to Meiji Art” (Foundation I – Seminar (VMC)), taught by Dr. Katharina RODE-KAYA from Heidelberg University on August 4-8.
In this intensive course, we will approach the art and politics Japanese Meiji era (1868-1912), and navigate their complexity through separate case studies that are often transcultural in nature. While having absorbed visual and technical input from mainly China and Europe throughout the so-called closed (sakoku) Edo period, the availability of materials and contact to actual people from outside Japan propelled art-politico development from the 1880s onwards. To cater to various interests and the transcultural perspective of the program, we will explore five different aspects of the Meiji art world.
Date & Time: August 4-8, 9:00-12:00, 13:00-16:00
Location: Seminar Room 10, First Floor, Research Building No.2 (Map㉞)
Language: English
