Outline
What Are the Objects of Japanese Art History?
The field understood as Japanese art history has undergone great changes in the last century. In the last decades, we have seen a steady growth of new objects, materials and time period that had not been admitted into past academic discourse; topics that we now take for granted were simply not admissible a couple of generations ago. Another development is that, unlike a general consensus on the subjects of the discipline a few generations ago, the interpretation of admissible subjects now vary from country to country, university to university, instructor to instructor: there is clearly no consensus and new generations of scholars must now make decisions for themselves in their subjects for research and teaching; decisions that will affect their future careers. The presenter will introduce four candidates for possible admission to the discipline. It will be up to audience to decide whether to admit them or not.
