  • Postmodern Orientalism. William Gibson, Cyberpunk and Japan
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. POSTMODERN ORIENTALISM William Gibson, Cyberpunk and Japan A thesis presented in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand Leonard Patrick Sanders 2008 ABSTRACT Taking the works of William Gibson as its point of focus, this thesis considers cyberpunk’s expansion from an emphatically literary moment in the mid 1980s into a broader multimedia cultural phenomenon. It examines the representation of racial differences, and the formulation of global economic spaces and flows which structure the reception and production of cultural practices. These developments are construed in relation to ongoing debates around Japan’s identity and otherness in terms of both deviations from and congruities with the West (notably America). To account for these developments, this thesis adopts a theoretical framework informed by both postmodernism as the “cultural dominant” of late capitalism (Jameson), and orientalism, those discursive structures which produce the reified polarities of East versus West (Said). Cyberpunk thus exhibits the characteristics of an orientalised postmodernism, as it imagines a world in which multinational corporations characterised as Japanese zaibatsu control global economies, and the excess of accumulated garbage is figured in the trope of gomi. It is also postmodernised orientalism, in its nostalgic reconstruction of scenes from the residue of imperialism, its deployment of figures of “cross-ethnic representation” (Chow) like the Eurasian, and its expressions of a purely fantasmatic experience of the Orient, as in the evocation of cyberspace.

    2019 IFTR CONFERENCE SCHEDULE DAY 1 MONDAY JULY 8 WG 1 DAY 1 MONDAY July 8 9:00-10:30 WG1 SAMUEL BECKETT WORKING GROUP ROOM 204 Chair: Trish McTighe, University of Birmingham 9:00-10:00 General discussion 10:00-11:00 Yoshiko Takebe, Shujitsu University Translating Beckett in Japanese Urbanism and Landscape This paper aims to analyze how Beckett’s drama especially Happy Days is translated within the context of Japanese urbanism and landscape. According to Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies, “shifts are seen as required, indispensable changes at specific semiotic levels, with regard to specific aspects of the source text” (Baker 270) and “changes at a certain semiotic level with respect to a certain aspect of the source text benefit the invariance at other levels and with respect to other aspects” (ibid.). This paper challenges to disclose the concept of urbanism and ruralism that lies in Beckett‘s original text through the lens of site-specific art demonstrated in contemporary Japan. Translating Samuel Beckett’s drama in a different environment and landscape hinges on the effectiveness of the relationship between the movable and the unmovable. The shift from Act I into Act II in Beckett’s Happy Days gives shape to the heroine’s urbanism and ruralism. In other words, Winnie, who is accustomed to being surrounded by urban materialism in Act I, is embedded up to her neck and overpowered by the rural area in Act II. This symbolical shift experienced by Winnie in the play is aesthetically translated both at an urban theatre and at a cave-like theatre in Japan.

  • Redressing Theo Schoon's Absence from New Zealand Art History

The thesis will also readdress Schoon's importance to the development of modernist art in New Zealand and Australia, through a detailed examination of his life, his development as an artist (with particular attention to his life in the Dutch East-Indies, and his training in Rotterdam, Netherlands), and his influence over New Zealand's artistic community. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Acknowledgment and thanks are due the following: My thesis supervisor Jonathan Mane-Wheoke, without whose breadth of knowledge and practical wisdom, this thesis would not have been possible.

  • The Russian Connection in Singapore's Local Art Identity
    The Russian Connection in Singapore’s Local Art Identity David Low Kok Kiat Southeast of Now: Directions in Contemporary and Modern Art in Asia, Volume 4, Number 2, October 2020, pp. 91-159 (Article) Published by NUS Press Pte Ltd DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/sen.2020.0008 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/770698 [ Access provided at 25 Sep 2021 19:42 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. The Russian Connection in Singapore’s Local Art Identity DAVID LOW KOK KIAT1 Abstract The uncritical acceptance of the Nanyang art discourse as central to the discussion of Singapore’s local art identity obfuscates its historical emergence from a richly pluralistic artistic milieu which existed from the 1920s to the 1940s. This article illustrates the diversity of artistic practice in Singapore during this period, through a case study of three Russian artists in Singapore: Anatole Shister, Vasily Zasipkin and Vladimir Tretchikoff. Examining their migration stories, as well as studying their art and their involvement in the local art world, the article reveals how global upheavals of this period informed Singapore’s artistic milieu, contributing to a cosmopolitan environment that allowed for interaction between artists from around the world. In Singapore, artists from different backgrounds and with diver- gent motives shared in the efforts of depicting local life, searching for local colour and painting the region. Introduction In Singapore, notable appraisals of works by Russian artists were given at the Fight for Freedom exhibition of 1941, held at the Victoria Memorial Hall; an exhibition wherein both European and Chinese artists who arrived in Singapore between the 1920s and 1940s were seen displaying works that Southeast of Now Vol.

  • A Pantheon of Icons
    Introduction A Pantheon of Icons As I flew up the stairs of the Louvre Museum, I looked around for a friendly attendant to direct me to the Mona Lisa, the famous portrait by Renaissance artist Leonardo Da Vinci. No need. The route was clearly marked with several laminated signs showing the enigmatic face and an arrow indicating the way. After a few flights of stairs, a few turns, past other magnificent paintings and, there it was, a smallish painting just beyond a large knot of people. I elbowed, apologised, shoved and burrowed my way to the front to finally lay eyes on the actual artwork which has become so renowned. On my left a small group of youngsters pushed even further, creating a deep bulge in the barrier. A sharp rebuke, followed by a question regarding their sanity, was issued from one of the vigilant attendants. I focussed on the painting, consciously cutting out the babble of the crowd, hoping to be able to assess what it was about this work that had brought me to this point. While I pondered the popularity of the Mona Lisa, I also began to think about my own country. South Africa is also home to some remarkable artefacts, artworks, historical sites and unique, internationally renowned fossil records. Why are the millions of tourists who travel the globe annually not also queuing up and jostling to see them? Are our cultural products not equally valid? Admittedly the cultural and artistic output of this planet is vast and varied. Many countries or nations have capitalised on this phenomenon and have built thriving tourist industries.

The Herb Seller is an exceptionally important work in the artistic output of South Africa for the following reasons: It was produced in 1948/49 (first exhibited in 1949) by a recent emigrant to South Africa (Russian-born, and arriving in South Africa in 1946 but having lived in China, Singapore and Java before that) and comments on significant political events at the time that the National Party took power in S.A. in 1948. With this white electoral victory, Apartheid policy would become official. The painting shows a well-known “character” in Cape Town, a female herb seller who was permanently ensconced in the CBD and who had taken over her trade from her mother and passed it on to her daughter.
