Course Below Meets During Summer Session 1: May 22-July 5
Art of the Diaspora: Transpacific consciousness “between” Japan and the US
In relation to art, the term “diaspora” is generally used to discuss artists who have migrated from one part of the world to another, who express these experiences, direct and inherited, in their artwork, often presenting alternative narratives and challenging the boundaries of entrenched art historiographies that are arranged by national constructs. The primary objective of this course is thus to explore and analyze an alternative art history of artists and practices from the 1960s to the present that do not fit neatly into the discursive boundaries of “Japanese” or “American” Art History. This course will survey the wide range of contemporary diasporic art practices that are linked to and by transpacific migration and imperial legacies of the Asia Pacific. By tracing the deeply entangled, transnational practices of artists working in and around Japan, Okinawa, Hawai’i, and the mainland US, we will consider how the “between-ness” of these diasporic artistic identities and ideas have pushed back against institutionalized histories. As a class we will conduct close visual and conceptual analyses of art, as well as situating artworks, artists, and exhibitions within their social, political, and historical contexts. In addition to academic texts, this course will present students with news media, documentary films, as well as relevant excursions in New York City.
