DESCRIPTION: \n\n“Tomb Tales and the Trans-position of Media in Medieval Ch
 ina”\n\n \n\nThis talk considers what an examination of works excavated fr
 om medieval tombs – painted surfaces and carved objects of clay and stone 
 – can tell us about a hierarchy of media and the potential porousness of t
 ext-based media categories art history has long taken for granted. What di
 d inhabitants of fifth century north China value in artistic constructions
  before the ninth-century critic Zhang Yanyuan anointed painting for recre
 ation as his metric? How did artists work across media during a time of pr
 onounced migration and exchange\, particularly an era which witnessed an i
 nflux of novel objects and technology derived from nomadic\, Sinitic and B
 uddhist practices? A reexamination of textual sources penned by elite auth
 ors such as court historians or Zhang’s influential Lidai minghua ji (Reco
 rd of Famous Paintings through the Dynasties) against the chance finds of 
 archaeology challenges painting’s primacy and urges us to see the long rel
 evance of material culture.\n
