Lecture Abstract:

The handicrafts of indigenous peoples, often referred to as "ethnic art" or "tribal art" and associated with ethnic cultures and communities, are today increasingly regarded as creations of individual "authors," akin to "fine art," through the channels of art markets, creative industries, and intellectual property systems. How does this seemingly global situation arise and how is it experienced in specific regions? This presentation will examine this question by focusing on Taiwan, a region in East Asia, and using the weaving and garment-making of the Austronesian-speaking indigenous peoples (Taiwan's indigenous peoples) as a case study.
