Shifting the Ground: Rethinking Chinese Art Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art, 2021, vol. 21, no. 1, 1–4 https://doi.org/10.1080/14434318.2021.1938932 Shifting the Ground: Rethinking Chinese Art Claire Roberts*, Mark K. Erdmann and Genevieve Trail This special open-call issue of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art (ANZJA) presents papers that examine issues relating to art of the Greater China region encompassing mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as Chinese diasporas. Here, Greater China is understood as an active cultural space defined by historical, multi-directional flows of people and ideas rather than territorial boundaries, with Chinese diaspora connecting China to all parts of the world. The aim in encouraging writers to think about the Greater China cultural space is to recover forgotten or marginalised histories and suggest alternatives to monolithic national narratives in order to reconfigure the field of Chinese art history in more complex and connected ways. The writers here are rethinking the frameworks that inform art history, notably the way both art and history are conceptualised, its periodisation, its pedagogical assumptions, and notions of linear progress informed by political events emanat- ing from dominant sources of power.
