Abstract

abstract:This article examines diaspora in the context of intimacy in order to focus on individual conditions of art-making, taking into account global conceptions of diaspora that have appealed to celebratory, emancipatory, pessimistic, or desirous formulations about diaspora and art. Through a discussion of paintings by Himan Sŏk, a Chinese Korean (Chosŏnjok), and Jun Ch'ae, a Japanese Korean (Zainichi), the author proposes that diasporic art can be analyzed in terms of the transpersonal relations that surround the intimate vicinity of the artwork in three ways. First, these works of art are neither structured from above nor resistant from below. Second, they express an idea of doubleness bound at once to a larger organizing collective and to the individual experience. These artists imbue their paintings with ethnos and nation and the personal and intimate, and a comparison of their works reveals social relations that form around the objects and evolve as art is produced, exhibited, written about, and discussed. Third, transpersonal relations surrounding the artists and artwork underscore a two-tiered idea of who transindividuals are to others and to themselves, a concept of identity that is especially pertinent to diasporic artists who are postcolonial subjects, as it allows for differing "selves" according to context-specific settings. The transindividual is, thus, shown to be a critical concept of integration in understanding identity.
艺术家海曼Sŏk(1914-2003)与全采(1926 -)的离散性亲密与超个性
本文在亲密关系的背景下考察散居,以便关注艺术创作的个人条件,同时考虑到散居的全球概念,这些概念吸引了关于散居和艺术的庆祝,解放,悲观或渴望的表述。通过对中国朝鲜族人Himan Sŏk (Chosŏnjok)和日本朝鲜族人Jun chae (Zainichi)的绘画的讨论,作者提出,流散艺术可以从三个方面来分析围绕着艺术品亲密关系的超个人关系。首先,这些艺术作品既没有自上而下的结构,也没有自下而上的抵抗。其次,它们表达了一种双重观念,既与更大的组织集体联系在一起,又与个人经验联系在一起。这些艺术家的绘画充满了民族、国家、个人和亲密的情感,对他们的作品进行比较,揭示了围绕对象形成的社会关系,并随着艺术的产生、展出、写作和讨论而发展。第三,围绕艺术家和艺术品的超个人关系强调了跨个人对他人和对自己的双重概念,这一身份概念与后殖民主题的散居艺术家特别相关,因为它允许根据特定背景设置不同的“自我”。因此,跨个体被证明是理解身份整合的关键概念。
