CURSO ONLINE «EL ARTE CONTEMPORÁNEO EN ASIA, EN LOS SIGLOS XX Y XXI: IDENTIDADES EN CONFLICTO Y CUESTIONES DE GÉNERO»


Curso online 

«El arte contemporáneo en Asia, en los siglos XX y XXI:

identidades en conflicto y cuestiones de género»


Este curso online se impartirá a lo largo de doce sesiones y los contenidos se anuncian en los títulos que se nombran a continuación. El objetivo consistirá en presentar al público algunos de los aspectos más relevantes del arte contemporáneo (de los siglos XX y XXI) de aquellos países del este y el sudeste asiático, que han conseguido transformar prácticas artísticas hegemónicas en una comprensión de la creación y la estética contemporáneas en base a su carácter experimental e innovador.

Por una parte, se abordará el conflicto entre tradición y modernidad (especialmente importante en ámbitos donde la modernidad se asimilaba a lo foráneo repercutiendo hostilmente en el ámbito identitario); por otra, se hará hincapié en el complejo papel de las mujeres en los diferentes panoramas artísticos de la región. A lo largo de las doce sesiones, realizaremos una inmersión en los aspectos más relevantes del arte contemporáneo de China, Japón, las dos Coreas, Tailandia, Indonesia y Vietnam, sin olvidar su relación con el resto del mundo, y en particular, de nuestro país.

Títulos de las sesiones:

  1. El arte asiático: entre la tradición y la modernidad en el mundo contemporáneo (A. Rodríguez)
  2. El arte contemporáneo de Japón (M. Peiró)
  3. El arte actual en Japón (A. Rodríguez)
  4. El arte contemporáneo y actual en Tailandia (M. Peiró)
  5. El arte contemporáneo en Vietnam (C. Nualart)
  6. El arte actual en Vietnam (C. Nualart)

SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY "INTERNATIONALS POLITICS IN THE KOREAN PENINSULA" COURSE


International Politics in the Korean Peninsula

Explore the genesis, expansion, projection and challenges of

the Chinese World Order in China and East Asia.

Seoul National University

About this course:

This course is divided into three parts. First, you’ll learn how the Chinese World Order emerged in the ancient world, focusing on the concept of the "heavenly mandate" (天命) as the ultimate source of political power (1 module). You’ll also learn how the Chinese World Order expanded into the relationship between China and surrounding political entities (1 module) and several challenges when the Qing (淸) Empire replaced the Ming (明) Empire.

Second, this course will review how China tried to project its world order into the relationship with Korea and Korea came to be integrated into the Chinese World Order from the 14th-century to the 18th-century (4 modules). More specifically, it will show how China intervened in the interstate trade and Korean music.

Finally, it will compare the two trajectories of political thoughts between Korea and Japan since the 17th-century. Korea fantasized itself as the genuine heir and center of the Chinese World Order, closing its door to foreigners. Meanwhile, Japan overcame the Chinese World Order and eventually converted itself as a modern state (1 module).

The working language is Korean with English subtitles.

Curso online «Mujeres viajeras a Asia»

Haciendo hincapié en los textos e imágenes de estas mujeres, conoceremos mejor los últimos cuatro siglos del continente, y la sociedad y cultura de países como Irán, Afganistán, Turkmenistán, entre otros.

  1. Viajar en femenino. ¿Viaja la mujer de forma diferente al hombre? Las formas y los sentidos del viaje.
  2. Lady Montagu. Imágenes de Oriente.
  3. Annemarie Schwarzenbach. Viaje y escritura.
  4. Vita Sackville-West. De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de Asia Central.
