This first of two special issues of Art in Translation: Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea aims to initiate the discussion of visual art in both the historical and contemporary contexts of the changing ...geopolitical and cultural identities in Asian locales—Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea in particular. The five articles in this first issue focus on the visual production emerging from a reflection upon martial law in Taiwan and South Korea during the Cold War, and how traditional art forms, such as ink painting, evolved in the context of postwar Hong Kong, which was a major contact zone for Chinese and Western cultures. In doing so we are engaging in accounts that connect with the hybridity of artistic creation, critical conversations across borders, and postcolonial theory to critique—to go beyond—the visuality and cultural translations developed in the regions under Chinese influence and reposition ourselves in a global context that includes its autonomous regions and Asian counterparts. We strive to understand how East Asian art history, aesthetics, and practices exemplify, translate, challenge, and synthesize, as they demarcate what it means to be modern and contemporary in specific milieus.
This article examines the issues of preserving and reviving the artistic traditions of folk applied art at a new level. The concept of spatial organization of the environment for the production of ...folk art products is proposed, taking into account their specific features of technological production. The main goal is to create an appropriate spatial environment for the high-quality production of elements of folk art craft, while preserving the historical and aesthetic categories of products that ensure their recognition as a work of art.
The paper presents nutrition as a fundamental biological function in connection with art from wider Škofjeloško-Selška area on the examples of medieval wall paintings-frescoes, painted beehive panels ...and examples of folk art such as small breads, Dražgoše breads and some other folk arts related to nutrition. The study on nutrition and art was included in the multi-year project Research of the Population Structures of Slovenia, with which we determine the types of populations, the direction of their development, their ecological, genetic and other effects, as well as their interactions.
Kao dio naše promatračke studije izoliranih populacija provedene u Selškoj dolini s okolinom u sjeverozapadnoj Sloveniji, koja je također obuhvaćala istraživanja o prehrani na ovom području, promatrali smo i elemente prehrane u umjetnosti na ovom planinskom području. Hrana i prehrana često se priređuju u umjetnostima ovog područja od srednjeg vijeka dalje. Najzanimljiviji su prikazi na freskama, pločama od košnica, u umjetnički izrađenim medenim loškim i dražgoškim kruhovima te umjetnički oblikovanim maslacem i predmetima iz svakodnevnog života.
Las ciudades costeras de la India han jugado un papel fundamental en las relaciones internacionales a traves de la cultura, el comercio y la conectividad desde el pasado lejano. En los tiempos ...modernos, las ciudades costeras como Mumbai (antes Bombay) en la costa arábiga y Kolkata (antes Calcuta) en la bahía de Bengala han sido actores activos en los asuntos internacionales. Si bien Mumbai ha sido el centro del comercio internacional, Kolkata ha sido el punto de unión de la bonhomía cultural con Bangladesh y los países del sudeste asiático, que ganó más fuerza debido a los movimientos transfronterizos de tecnología, información, educación, comercio y finanzas, y herramientas artísticas reforzadas por la Nueva Política Económica que comenzó a principios de los años noventa. Los estados indios y las ciudades metropolitanas están mejorando su posición en los asuntos internacionales con ganancias tangibles. Mumbai se conoce como la capital financiera de la India y la sede de grandes casas comerciales y organizaciones financieras globales. Del mismo modo, Kolkata es conocida como la capital cultural de la India (Sri Aurobindo, Tagore, Shanti Niketan, arte y cultura popular bengalí, etc.) y un destino para turistas, artistas e investigadores extranjeros. Este artículo examina el crecimiento y el impacto de la diplomacia de las ciudades en la India a traves del prisma del federalismo en la promoción de los intereses locales en la política internacional. Intenta evaluar el papel de las ciudades indias desde una perspectiva comparativa en la conducción de la diplomacia de la ciudad a partir de los aspectos económicos y culturales.
