Die Kunstgeschichte Ostasiens im deutschsprachigen Raum Nr. 32
The contours of notion of masculinity and femininity came from the West during the 19th
century. In the context of the challenges posed by the Western impact, both countries
translated their sense of national crisis into a crisis of cultural identity. The issue of gender
manifested itself in the reshaping of national identity as well as in the approach to education,
commercial culture and cultural ideals. In the early Meiji period (1868-1912) gender
had become a core component in Japan’s formulation of its “progress” towards modernity,
and it was the most visible and public way in which this was articulated in the field
of literature and art. In the case of China, the Japanese became the immediate ‘Western’
model. The focus of the conference is on the redefinition of gender and the creation of the
new ideal in these two countries during that period. By bringing together scholars working
in the fields of history, literature, media studies, fine arts and performing arts, the conference
hopes to promote a critical dialogue among scholars of China and Japan on a wide
range of questions concerning gender. With a comparative approach, we hope to contribute
to a reevaluation of the role of gender in the rise of modern societies in Asia.
