This study primarily focuses on the situational methods in which the exhibits were connected to the public under artistic intervention. In the exploratory stage, the “Game of Thrones” project in the Humboldt Lab Dahlem programme offered multiple versions of interpretations, which ultimately prompted the museum to change the scene restoration plan and invite the famous Chinese architect Wang Shu to complete the rooftop installation. Between construction and deconstruction, the artwork’s scenic intervention creates structural descriptions for the presentation of cross-cultural differences, and accommodates ethical conflicts from different sides with its poetic, distanced interpretations, while providing a shared language for comprehending the various facets of nationhood amidst the intersection of history and the present.","PeriodicalId":43902,"journal":{"name":"South Asian History and Culture","volume":" 31","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135187939","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 Construction of Agonistic and Strategic Landscape in Chinese Painting of the 1920s and 1930s","authors":"Chunyan Zhang","doi":"10.5539/ach.v15n2p44","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5539/ach.v15n2p44","url":null,"abstract":"This paper discusses the construction of nature in Chinese painting during the period of the late 1920s and 1930s. In this period, in the context of nationalism, in order to arouse people’s national sentiments, artists constructed, or even distorted nature as a threatening “other” of human beings or as a strategic landscape to be controlled by human beings. Both convey the idea of agonistic relationship between human beings and nature. This idea was new, betraying the traditional idea of “harmony between man and nature” and the traditional image of nature as an idealized utopia without any political associations. Most scholars argue that in the 1950s Chinese painting began to produce representations of nature and people in a new ideology with all kinds of “struggle” as the main theme. However, this phenomenon actually began as early as the late 1920s and 1930s. In this new construction, the appearance of nature was portrayed as destructive or as a battlefield, while human beings were represented as battlers, which is the result of social context and ideology.","PeriodicalId":43902,"journal":{"name":"South Asian History and Culture","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135769843","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 maps the intellectual pathways two Bengalis – Raja Rammohun Roy and Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar – chalked out in their negotiations with real and mythical spaces of the East and the West. The fashioning of their own self-identities then becomes a part of this process. The evolution of Roy’s analytical frame, and Vidyasagar’s literary frame for examining and romancing the West is laid out, after the historical context is explained. Roy’s reflexive engagement with the Occident was to travel and see for himself this land of fantasy (which remained an elite practice and which Roy sets in motion). Ishwarchandra’s literary frame of translation formed a deep pool of imagination within indigenous minds – an internalised geographical space which did not need a validity check – therefore representing a deeper colonial penetration of the Bengali/Indian imagination.KEYWORDS: Bhugolcartographygeographyglobetopographygeographical neologismsliteraturetranslationembodied spacegeography of differences Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

{"title":"The <i>Bhasa</i> of History—an essay for Dipesh Chakrabarty","authors":"Siddharth Satpathy","doi":"10.1080/19472498.2023.2255779","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19472498.2023.2255779","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT What value does a leading historian of modern South Asia ascribe to bhasa literature? Meant as an introduction to a volume of papers dedicated to Dipesh Chakrabarty, this essay proposes to read through some of his work and draw out a couple of general responses to this central question. The first one concerns Chakrabarty’s larger philosophical engagement with the condition of colonial modernity in India. In his treatment, bhasa literary corpus is a site of difference as well as belonging. He searches for the difference that marks Indian experience of colonial modernity in the literary. The value of bhasa, in this instance, lies in its ability to provide a ground for resistance to the uniform march of enlightenment and capitalist modernity. And, bhasa enables an awareness of historical difference precisely because it provides a sense of belonging. This sense of belongingness is closely tied to a place, a particular location as well as to a sense of everyday intimacy. As the hybrid site of difference as well as belonging, bhasa is then the constitutive cradle of what Chakrabarty calls ‘History 2s’. The second one concerns Chakrabarty’s more specific analysis of the evolution of history as an academic discipline in modern India. He delineates a sharp devaluation in the political worth of the literary that the rise of rational-scientific history writing brought about in the middle decades of the twentieth-century. As he studies the intellectual careers of particular historians, part of his intent is to elaborate on this process of devaluation. The essay situates this reading of Chakrabarty in a larger discursive context. It briefly looks at the work of some other scholars of modern South Asia who share these intellectual concerns, and seeks to create, as it were, a dialogue between Chakrabarty and others. The essay concludes by briefly introducing the papers in the volume. In different ways, they extend Chakrabarty’s preoccupation with the relationship between history and literature, and with the subject of modernity in India at large.","PeriodicalId":43902,"journal":{"name":"South Asian History and Culture","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136192932","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}
