The Chinese Art of Enlivenment: A Symposium

 

    

October 24-25, 2008
Organized by Eugene Yuejin Wang, Rockefeller Professor of Asian Art, Department of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard University

This symposium brought together scholars of art history, history, medical history, religious studies, and literature to explore the mechanism and processes through which cultural convictions and conventions animate static images in Chinese history and society. Panelists discussed “enlivenment” with respect to religious images, painting, internal and external settings, body and self, public images, and modernity. Sponsored by the Rockefeller Fund, Department of History of Art and Architecture, Harvard-Yenching Institute, and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.
