Hello everyone, 

This talk is live in Paris, but also offered via webinar (through Teams) and the timing for the latter works out to be not too bad for those of us residing in Australasia!

Best, Michelle

How might we write the dramas and predicaments of conscience into our ethnographies and histories of Southeast Asian art? Things—artworks—mingle with us in our lifeworlds and in our ethical accounts of ourselves. In preparing written portraits of painter A. D. Pirous and other figures from Indonesia’s earliest cohort of postcolonial artists (1945-2000), I have been drawn to them as artists-of-conscience who seek out narratives that bring their subjectivity, their artwork, and their publics into companionable alignment. Picturing conscience (and failures of conscience) as a shaping force in the way artists practice their craft and dwell in their lifeworlds opens up fresh possibilities for taking measure of art world pursuits and their political and historical specificity. It invites an interest in episodic ethnography and art history, and obliges us to work both with and against the grain of the artists’ own account of themselves.

Ken George (Ph.D., University of Michigan) is Professor of Anthropology Emeritus in the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific at the Australian National University, having served previously at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Harvard University, and as Editor of the Journal of Asian Studies (2005-2008). Ken’s ethnographic and art historical research in Asia began with a decade of work on the cultural politics of ritual violence in highland Sulawesi, Indonesia. He subsequently conducted a long-term collaborative project on contemporary Islamic art and art publics across Southeast Asia. His research has been supported by the Social Science Research Council, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities (USA), and the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. Ken’s books include the prize-winning Showing Signs of Violence: The Cultural Politics of a Twentieth-Century Headhunting Ritual (1996); Spirited Politics: Religion and Public Life in Contemporary Southeast Asia (2005, co-editor); and Picturing Islam: Art and Ethics in a Muslim Lifeworld (2010). His current research with Kirin Narayan exploring the intermingling of religion and technology in India has been supported by the American Institute of Indian Studies, the USIEF Fulbright Program, and an Australian Research Council Discovery Project Award.

We look forward very much to your participation. Please feel free to share this with your networks. 

Wishing you an excellent week ahead,
Yin

Séminaire : « catalogues raisonnés – technologies intellectuelles »

L’histoire des catalogues raisonnés n’est qu’au début de son écriture, peut-être parce que sa fonction ne cesse d’évoluer. Gagnant des qualités de scientificité, s’éloignant de plus en plus du beau livre et du coffee table book, le catalogue raisonné en vient aujourd’hui à développer d’autres fonctions, parfois inattendues, mais résolument au cœur de ce qui construit aujourd’hui le monde de l’art.

Séance #1 : Une courte histoire des catalogues raisonnés : avec Rainer Michael Mason, Denyse Durand-Ruel et la Catalogue Raisonné Scholars Association 

Du 24 mars 2023 au 24 mars 2023
