Ecocritical Perspectives in East Asian Art and Culture
This workshop brings together historians of the arts of East Asia to highlight the agency of nonhuman actors and actants in shaping knowledge about the world in visual and material culture in the early modern period and beyond. Presentations will cover the representation of animals and plants, paying particular attention to their relationship with human actors. In addition, we see this relation not as a one-way and hierarchic human-centered process but as a continuous feedback loop between people and the environment.
