SUMMARY:Modular Construction: Building Decorated Tombs in Song and Jin Nort
 h China
DESCRIPTION:\n	Deng Fei (Associate Professor\, National Institute for Advan
 ced Humanistic Studies\, Fudan University\; HYI Visiting Scholar) \n\n	Ch
 air/discussant: Eugene Wang (Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Professor of Asian A
 rt\, Department of History of Art and Architecture\, Harvard University)\n
 \n	 \n\n	Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n	 \n
 \n\n	Since the 1950s\, there has been an upsurge in archaeological activit
 y in China. This has led to the discovery of a large number of 11th – 13
 th century tombs\, which were decorated with pictorial scenes and architec
 tural elements. Scholars have explored the underlying logic of a tomb’s
  design\, decoration\, and furnishing\, seeing tombs as an embodiment of s
 ocial relations\, history\, cosmology\, and religious beliefs. The talk fo
 cuses on a group of decorated tombs of the Song and Jin periods in north C
 hina\, and examines the way in which the tombs were devised and made. By s
 hifting the focus of our gaze from tomb content to tomb construction\, thi
 s talk hopes to touch upon a broader issue about modular construction and 
 architectural culture from the tenth to thirteenth centuries\, investigati
 ng artisans’ practices from the perspectives of workshop practice\, divi
 sion of labor\, and use of modular designs.
