Avec l'ère Meiji (1868-1912), le Japon met fin à une longue période d'isolement et s'ouvre à l'Occident, exportant massivement sa production artistique. Lassés du modèle antique et sensibles au raffinement de l'art japonais, les peintres occidentaux découvrent avec enthousiasme une nouvelle esthétique. Les estampes - caractérisées par la vivacité des couleurs, l'absence de modelé des formes traitées en aplats, ainsi que l'originalité de compositions fondées sur l'asymétrie et l'ignorance délibérée de la perspective - séduisent les artistes les plus novateurs, parmi lesquels Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh et Paul Signac, qui entament alors une véritable révolution plastique. Le japonisme est un phénomène si vaste qu'il paraît aujourd'hui plus pertinent d'évoquer ses manifestations au pluriel, comme il est question d'impressionnismes. À travers l'exposition « Japonismes / Impressionnismes » et son catalogue, le musée des impressionnismes Giverny et l'Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck de Remagen souhaitent mettre en lumière l'influence de l'art japonais sur l'oeuvre des peintres impressionnistes et postimpressionnistes, des années 1860 à l'aube du XX e siècle.

"An analysis of historical, transcultural, and transmedia adaptation, Transforming Monkey: Adaptation and Representation of a Chinese Epic examines the ever-changing image of Sun Wukong (aka Monkey, or the Monkey King), in literature and popular culture both in China and the United States. A protean protagonist of the sixteenth century novel Journey to the West (Xiyou ji), the Monkey King's image has been adapted in distinctive ways for the representation of various social entities, including China as a newly founded nation state, the younger generation of Chinese during the postsocialist period, and the representation of the Chinese and Chinese American as a social 'other' in American popular culture. The juxtaposition of various manifestations of the same character in the book present the adaptation history of Monkey as a masquerade, enabling readers to observe not only the masks, but also the mask-wearers, as well as underlying factors such as literary and political history, state ideologies, market economies, issues of race and ethnicity, and politics of representation and cross-cultural translation Transforming Monkey demonstrates the social and political impact of adaptations through the hands of its users while charting the changes to the image of Sun Wukong in modern history and his participation in the construction and representation of Chinese identity. The first manuscript focusing on the transformations of the Monkey King image and the meanings this image carries, Transforming Monkey argues for the importance of adaptations as an indivisible part of the classical work, and as a revealing window to examine history, culture, and the world"--

Part survey of the field of Indigenous literary studies, part cultural history, and part literary polemic, Why Indigenous Literatures Matter asserts the vital significance of literary expression to the political, creative, and intellectual efforts of Indigenous peoples today. In considering the connections between literature and lived experience, this book contemplates four key questions at the heart of Indigenous kinship traditions: How do we learn to be human? How do we become good relatives? How do we become good ancestors? How do we learn to live together? Blending personal narrative and broader historical and cultural analysis with close readings of key creative and critical texts, Justice argues that Indigenous writers engage with these questions in part to challenge settler-colonial policies and practices that have targeted Indigenous connections to land, history, family, and self. More importantly, Indigenous writers imaginatively engage the many ways that communities and individuals have sought to nurture these relationships and project them into the future. This provocative volume challenges readers to critically consider and rethink their assumptions about Indigenous literature, history, and politics while never forgetting the emotional connections of our shared humanity and the power of story to effect personal and social change. Written with a generalist reader firmly in mind, but addressing issues of interest to specialists in the field, this book welcomes new audiences to Indigenous literary studies while offering more seasoned readers a renewed appreciation for these transformative literary traditions.

In this highly original and critically informed book, Renata R. Mautner Wasserman looks at how, during the first decades following political independence, writers in the United States and Brazil assimilated and subverted European images of an "exotic" New World to create new literatures that asserted cultural independence and defined national identity. Exotic Nations demonstrates that the language of exoticism thus became part of the New World's interpretation of its own history and natural environment.
