Call for Papers
Mutual Images 7th International Workshop: Painting East: Artistic relations between Japan and the West (artists, aesthetics, artworks)
Vigo University (Pontevedra Campus) Spain, 3 – 4 June 2019
Nowadays, intense influences between cultures are commonly associated with new technologies and globalisation. However, when it comes to art, the new millennium is but the last step in a long process of hundreds of years of artistic interaction and cultural exchange between artists from countries all over the world. The relationship between Japan and Europe, strengthened after the Meiji Restoration, richly exemplifies how artists and their production benefit from outside influences, which ultimately permeates between different artistic and cultural manifestations such as cinema, photography, fashion, graphic design, comics or contemporary art. This workshop aims to gather researchers and practitioners who wish to discuss the mutual influence between Japan and Europe on artists, their works and styles. The discussions are open to all periods and artistic media (including fine arts, cinema, photography, graphic design, manga, anime, fashion, etc.). We invite papers that consider individual artists, collectives, artistic movements or specific artworks.
We encourage submissions considering the following themes, but not exclusively:
Cultural movements and flux:
• Japanese artists who traveled to Europe/ European artists who traveled to Japan.
• Exhibitions about Japan or Japanese art in Europe/ exhibitions about Europe or European art in Japan.
• Reception of manga and anime in Europe.
• European cinema in Japan; Japanese cinema in Europe.
• Photography in modern Japan as an imported technique/ Japan as the post-war leader in the photographic industry.
Representation of the self and other in art:
• Artworks representing Japan and/or Europe.
• Self and other in Japanese and European cinema.
• Orientalism.
• Japonism.
Cultural influences:
• Japanese artists influenced by European cultures/ European artists influenced by Japanese culture.
• Japanese motives/ European motives in fine arts, cinema, photography, graphic design and fashion.
• Manga and anime in contemporary art / European take on manga and anime.
• Cross-relations and influences between different artistic media.
• European/Japanese fashion.
• Graphic design in Europe and Japan.
The dx5 digital & graphic art_research group at Vigo University, in co-operation with Mutual Images Association, invite potential speakers to this workshop. Interested presenters are invited to submit a 300-word abstract on topics related to images of Japan through a foreign lens and vice-versa. PhD students and early career researchers are particularly encouraged to submit papers. Panel submissions are welcome, but also all the individual papers will be grouped with others of a similar theme, where possible. All papers presented may be subsequently published in the peer-reviewed journal Mutual Images: mutualimages-journal.org.
