Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
How do we evaluate a defunct organization? How can we visit an art exhibition that was canceled? How do we watch a live performance from decades ago? The course “Mapping an Archive” focuses on finding, examining, and interpreting archival materials on Chinese art since the 1980s. A major resource is the Asia Art Archive (AAA)’s research collections, containing artwork images, exhibition files, artist proposals, correspondences, event ephemera, photographic and video documentation, interviews, and news clippings.The emphasis on primary sources is joined by structured exercises to overview the state of research, formulate research questions, and treat various types of archival materials in academic writing.The course begins with a general introduction to the archive and archival research, followed by sessions of case studies, both lesser-known and widely studied artworks and events, that each combines a methodological aspect of archive research with art historical topics. A midterm project additionally encourages creating a map of an art archive in creative methods. To conclude the semester, and taking inspiration from AAA’s collection focus, the course discusses the problems with the often assumed modifiers “contemporary” and “Chinese,” looking for possible responses from an archive.Course sessions and required readings are in English; to browse through archives and understand the links between various records, basic knowledge of Chinese is recommended. Course materials will be available either directly on moodle or provided with an access link.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
15%: active class participation
Students should actively join class activities, contributing to weekly group discussions of “archive record spotlights,” giving feedbacks to others’ presentations, and showing engagement with the assigned readings/viewings.15%: mapping an archive
The midterm assignment asks students to choose one archive related to Chinese Studies and create a personal map of the archive, to be presented to the class in week 8. The emphasis is on explaining the relationship between the topic and materials rather than craftsmanship.30%: presentation
In the presentation students present their analysis of one archive record or group of records related to Chinese art since the 1980s. This record should raise questions to what is currently understood about a work, an artist, an event, offer original answers, or address a gap in literature. Between week 9 and 14, students in turn share their research progress with the class in a 15-minute presentation plus a 10-minute question session.40%: final paper
Building on the presentation, the final paper delivers the student’s research questions and findings in academic writing (7-10 pages, Times New Roman 12, 1.5 spacing, excluding bibliography). Submission is first automatically checked by turnitin.
