- Summary:
- Drawing upon fine art and objects made for pedagogical and devotional needs of the local Christian communities, including prints, posters, paintings, and photographs dating from the early twentieth century to the present, this volume mainly explores Christian art in Taiwan. By recognizing the artistic development from merely adapting traditional Christian iconography to creating new indigenous narratives, Su-Chi Lin examines the issue of visual representation raised in such inculturation processes, and considers whether these artworks offer models to re-imagine the contextual illustration of global Christian faith. [Räume der Vermittlung. Christliche Kunst und visuelle Kultur in Taiwan] Der vorliegende Band erkundet christliche Kunst in Taiwan am Beispiel von Bildender Kunst und Kunsthandwerk, das für pädagogische und devotionale Zwecke der lokalen christlichen Gemeinschaften geschaffen wurde. Die Drucke, Poster, Bilder und Photographien datieren vom frühen 20. Jahrhundert bis heute. Die künstlerische Entwicklung reicht dabei von der bloßen Adaption christlicher Ikonographie bis zur Schöpfung neuer indigener Narrative. Su-Chi Lin untersucht die visuellen Repräsentationen in solchen Inkulturationsprozessen und geht der Frage nach, ob diese Kunstwerke Modelle anbieten für die kontextuelle Illustration des globalen christlichen Glaubens.
