In the wider geopolitical context, the promotion of Eastern European arts was in line with Nordpolitik (Northern Policy): the South Korean government brought Eastern Europe to its side and isolated North Korea from its allies. The essay discusses the political uses of the 1988 Olympic Games and the Olympiad of Art as a groundbreaking event that contributed to the establishment of bilateral cultural relations between South Korea and the countries of the Eastern Bloc. Both the Olympic Games and the Olympiad of Art (1988) also contributed to a refreshing image of Eastern Europe in South Korea. Moreover, they foreshadowed a commencement of the new line of artistic exchanges when diplomatic relations between both regions in 1989–1991 were established.","PeriodicalId":412489,"journal":{"name":"World Art","volume":"38 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131472842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Long due and with great anticipation and press coverage, it was the third installment of a series of meetings that resulted from the 2015 Paris Agreement and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. But why now? – plainly, because the planet and all its peoples cannot wait. The world is experiencing intense tornadoes in North America, severe floods and landslides in Europe, and scalding Canadian and Australian heat waves; the Brazilian Amazon and many other places are burning, while the oceans and weather patterns are convulsing. The urgency also resides in the rise in average global temperatures and the pressing need to maintain it reasonably by reducing global carbon dioxide emissions and drastically limiting other greenhouse gases in the near future. We are in the midst of a worsening environmental crisis and people on various fronts are asking what can be done. In particular, how is art responding to the environmental crisis? Members of art communities everywhere are also joining in to face this crucial problem, in a vast movement that is reshaping the face of art itself. This special issue of World Art emerges out of this movement, and is concerned about what artists and critics have to say and do in the matter. Many initiatives and actions in the domains of art and visual culture have been to denounce the destruction of the environment; they also highlight and suggest solutions to what, without our intervention, will be a world catastrophe without precedent.

First, we are delighted to announce that the journal will now be indexed by Scopus, one of the top indexing and abstracting providers for academic research. Scopus gives us considerably greater coverage for various kinds of online/digitised searches. It extends the reach of the contributions published in the journal, allows us to connect to wider readerships, and will increase the visibility of our authors and their work. It is one more boon and incentive for scholars to chooseWorld Art for publishing their research and ensuring quality recognition. Second, we have a few updates regarding our content and submission guidelines. We are now on a regular programme of publishing three issues per year, which has been the case since 2019. This uptick built on the successes of the previous years, and total submissions have increased accordingly. It’s worth mentioning that at least one of the three issues each year will be published as a special themed issue. Proposals for special issues are always welcome, and any queries or expressions of interest can be directed to: worldart@uea.ac.uk. Any current calls for papers can always be found on the journal’s website: https://www.tandfonline.com. Of course, new manuscripts not intended for themed issues can be submitted at any time, and consideration of them proceeds on a rolling basis. This includes various kinds of contribution types (e.g., research articles, visual essays, art interventions, position pieces and interviews). Lastly, that brings us to the present issue, dedicated to ‘Art andEnvironmental Crisis,’ guest-edited by Renato Rodrigues da Silva and Tami Bogéa. This issue is inspired by recent developments and activities concerning art and the environment across the world. Recent impacts wrought by climate change, tied to global warming and other anthropogenic forces, are eroding theworld’s sustainability. At the same time, they reveal regional vulnerabilities, great inequalities inwealth and power, and legal andmoral transgressions. Many signs and sources of evidence point to a planet and its various ecosystems in flux and some teetering on the edge.","PeriodicalId":412489,"journal":{"name":"World Art","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117157337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The art of orality: how the absence of writing shapes the character of tribal, ‘primitive’ art","authors":"Declan Lloyd","doi":"10.1080/21500894.2023.2196250","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/21500894.2023.2196250","url":null,"abstract":"This contribution aims to identify a clear link between whether a culture is oral or literate and their distinct styles of visual art. It looks with particular interest to the interconnectivity between the theories of two thinkers from disparate fields: the American philosopher and theorist of linguistics Walter J. Ong and the German art historian Wilhelm Worringer. It considers what we can learn from the intersectionality of their principal theories: the conception of orality and literacy as delineated by Ong and the conception of abstraction and empathy as elucidated by Worringer. It will be shown how the characteristics of oral peoples as explicated by Ong (that is, people entirely detached from literacy, with no written language, sometimes derogatorily called ‘primitive’, or sometimes tribal peoples) are driven by the same ‘urge to abstraction’ which is identified by Worringer in Abstraction and Empathy. In turn, the reason for certain characteristics of oral art is specifically related to their being detached from literacy; as Ong famously proposed, ‘writing restructures consciousness.’ It will be shown how this is verified by the fact that the movement away from universal styles of oral, abstractive art (such as a constraint to two-dimensionality, use of repeated patterns and symbolic counterparts of figures and objects) towards immersive, empathic art (the mimetic, representational, realistic rendering of space and figures) is historically concurrent with a shift from universal orality to widespread literacy. The implication of this theoretical synchronicity is rather radical, allowing for new theoretical alignments between these fields. It also sheds light on the reason behind concurrent characteristics in the visual art produced by disparate societies across time and cultures: their art is reflective of their status as an ‘oral’ culture.","PeriodicalId":412489,"journal":{"name":"World Art","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131141943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on one of the installation pieces A Barrel of Dregs of Coca-Cola (2009), which features an earthy, bitumen-like black crystalline residue, created by the artist and a number of workers by boiling down thousands of liters of Coca-Cola for a year. Existing studies primarily examine the work through symbolic and metaphorical readings that interpret the work as a critique of Western culture and consumerism's influence on China, and regard the artist as the sole protagonist of the production and meaning-making of the piece. This study focuses on the underexplored power of collective labor engagements with materials; on the materialities of the artwork; and on the artwork's potential to evoke broader critical responses. Building upon new materialist, including of Karen Barad and Amelia Jones, this paper understands the materialities of He's work in terms of material-discursive phenomena that are formed through continuous entanglements between the artist, workers, and the Coca-Cola substance. By examining the labor-intensive process manifested in the artwork's traces or marks, this study highlights how discursive materialities enacted during production processes can generate new spaces for meaning.","PeriodicalId":412489,"journal":{"name":"World Art","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130528674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exploratory study, therefore, seeks to understand how artists and environmentalists perceive the role of art in environmental communication. Based on interview data, we explored two relevant themes regarding their perception: art’s uncertain contribution to environmentalism and environmental art’s role and transformation. The first theme discussed the art’s audience, its standard and use, its meaning, social and financial dilemmas in the way of art’s contribution to environmentalism, and disagreements between environmentalists and artists over a few issues. The second theme focuses on the communicative and persuasive roles and potentials of arts in positive environmental changes and how the internet has recently transformed environmental art, making it digital, wide-reaching, more democratic, and more innovative. Finally, this paper concludes with some practical implications of the findings and methodological limitations.","PeriodicalId":412489,"journal":{"name":"World Art","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128689644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
