Translating and Writing Modern Design Histories in East Asia for the Global World

这个为期两年的项目针对的是AHRC在设计历史上“翻译文化”的重点注意事项。它创建了三个论坛，供讨论和交流思想，并建立了一个设计历史学家网络，致力于三个东亚地区的设计活动：工艺/产品、图形和时尚：日本、韩国、台湾/香港/中国。这三个论坛是：(1)2012年7月在东京举行的专题讨论会；(2)2013年7月在云林举行的讲习班；(3)2014年5月在伦敦举行的专题讨论会。每个论坛将被用来交换经验数据，辩论和确定现代性的共同和不同问题，同时探索“全球设计史”的概念以及参与和联系的策略。PI和CO-I是英国的设计历史学家，专门研究东亚设计，他们将领导一场智力辩论，将东亚和英语中心的平行发展联系起来。通过这种有组织的网络，预计将确定许多新的想法和关键问题，使其能够促进知识的贡献。这项研究将提出一个“全球设计史”的框架，并由此产生由东亚机构和基金会资助的联合国际项目的新想法。此外，还将建立对英国设计史的教学和学术研究产生长期影响的关系。

This two-year project addresses the AHRC's 'translating cultures' highlight notice in design histories. It creates three forums for the discussion and exchange of ideas and formulating a network of design historians working on three design activities: craft/product, graphics and fashion in three East Asia regions: Japan, Korea, Taiwan/Hong Kong/PRC. The three forums are: (1) a symposium in Tokyo in July 2012; (2) a workshop in Yunlin July 2013; and (3) a symposium in London in May 2014. Each forum will be used to exchange empirical data, debate and identify common and different issues of modernities, while exploring the idea of 'global design histories' and the strategies for engagement and connection. The PI and CO-I are UK based design historians specialising in East Asian design, and will lead the intellectual debate that bridges parallel developments in East Asia and Anglophone centres. Through this structured networking, it is envisaged that many new ideas and critical issues will be identified which enable a contribution to knowledge. The research will propose a 'global design history' framework and whereby new ideas for formulating joint international projects funded by East Asian institutions and foundations, will be created. In addition, relationships that will have a long-term impact on teaching and academic studies of design history in the UK will be established.
