The project intends to discuss the localization
characteristics of modern literature and art in contemporary
China, from the perspectives of 13 types of literature and
art: poems, prose, novels, commentary, gender, aboriginal,
translated literature, drama, traditional China opera,
music, performing art, paintings, and movies. Instead of
focusing on the chronicle history of every type of art, the
research team emphasizes more on the origins, influences and
stage features of several turning points that have been
acknowledged in the history. Furthermore, the project aims
at providing a interpretation that how modern literature and
art in China absorb the art trends from foreign countries
and construct their own localization characteristics and
that what kind of localization characteristics are created
in Taiwan’s literature and art circle in the environment of
East Asia modern art. By combining the inter-disciplined
research cooperation and team members’ specialties in
research fields, the project are expected to sort out the
synchronicity of different types of literature and art. The
research results not only contribute to a single discipline,
but also to the whole humanity and art fields. Thus, the
results can also support the inter-disciplined research and
teaching of literature and art, to build a brand new and
effective way of operating.
The project focuses on five major topics: “tradition/modernity, China/Taiwan’s extension and transformation of literature and art,” “periods of literature and art types in China,” “Chinese literature and art and international culture,” “the cross-field performance of modern literature and art” and “comparative study of literature and art in contemporary China and East Asia.” The former three topics are frequently discussed in different development histories of literature and art types; on the other hand, the last two are new and developing study fields.
To deal with these enormous and complicated issues, the research team emphasizes more on the origins, influences and stage features of several turning points that have been acknowledged in the history, instead of focusing on the
chronicle history of every type of art. For instances, the appearance of modernism, development of vulture localization and impact of post-modernism are included in the discussion. Thus, the project aims at providing a interpretation that
how modern literature and art in China absorb the art trends from foreign countries and construct their own localization characteristics and that what kind of localization characteristics are created in Taiwan’s literature and art circle in the environment of East Asia modern art.
