Description
Imperial Animations in Transpacific Contemporary Art situates the Japanese Empire as a world-historical event that persists today through pervasive and deep impacts on regional and global politics.
Considering contemporary artwork from across the transpacific region, Namiko Kunimoto documents efforts to expose colonial trauma and reveal its presence in shaping political liberalism in Japan as well as the global rise of aspirational fascism.
At the heart of these artistic endeavours is a drive to animate, both in the sense of digitalization and performance, and in the urge to enliven, mobilize, and reveal the continuities of imperialism today.
The animate art addressed in this book urges us to think critically about imperialism and its links to the digital age, land, racism, and violence, thereby inviting us to re-envision our collective future.
