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

这个为期两年的项目解决了AHRC的“翻译文化”在设计历史上的突出通知。它创建了三个论坛，用于讨论和交流思想，并制定了一个设计历史学家网络，致力于三个设计活动：工艺/产品，图形和时尚，三个东亚地区：日本，韩国，台湾/香港/中国。这三个论坛是：（1）2012年7月在东京举行的研讨会;（2）2013年7月在云林举行的研讨会;（3）2014年5月在伦敦举行的研讨会。每个论坛将用于交流经验数据，辩论和识别现代性的共同和不同问题，同时探索“全球设计历史”的想法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，并将领导连接东亚和英语中心平行发展的知识辩论。通过这种结构化的网络，预计将确定许多新的想法和关键问题，从而促进知识。该研究将提出一个“全球设计史”框架，并由此为制定由东亚机构和基金会资助的联合国际项目创造新的想法。此外，还将建立对英国设计史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.
