This book examines the artistic practices of a range of
British-based artists of East Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean and
Taiwanese) heritage to consider the social, political and cultural
effects of migration or diaspora on their creative production.
Beccy Kennedy-Schtyk demonstrates three themes: the multiplicity
and expansive contemporaneity of these artists' visual oeuvres; the
physical impact or interpretation of migratory circumstances on
their artistic practices; and the necessity to continue to evolve
ways of thinking about migration, race and border crossings in the
current political climate of the 21st century. The book will be of
interest to scholars studying art history, Asian studies, British
studies, migration and diaspora studies, and cultural studies.
This edited collection brings together essays that share in a
critical attention to visual culture as a means of representing,
contributing to and/or intervening with discursive struggles and
territorial conflicts currently taking place at and across the
outward-facing and internal borders of the People's Republic of
China. Elucidated by the essays collected here for the first time
is a constellation of what might be described as visual culture
wars comprising resistances on numerous fronts not only to the
growing power and expansiveness of the Chinese state but also the
residues of a once pervasively suppressive Western
colonialism/imperialism. The present volume addresses visual
culture related to struggles and conflicts at the borders of Hong
Kong, the South China Sea and Taiwan as well within the PRC with
regard the so-called "Great Firewall of China" and differences in
discursive outlook between China and the West on the significances
of art, technology, gender and sexuality. In doing so, it provides
a vital index of twenty-first century China's diversely conflicted
status as a contemporary nation-state and arguably nascent empire.
