    Making a Transnational Design History in East Asia: Yen Shuilong’s Craft-Design Movement

    Full text link
    Yen Shuilong (1903-97) was born in Taiwan within the ‘Japanese Empire’ but his live is dominated by what we would now call transnational activities. During the fifteen years since his death, there have been a number of retrospective exhibitions on him, and these have served to anchor his status in Taiwanese history of art and design. From last year through to this year the Taipei Fine Arts Museum organised an exhibition ‘The Public Spirit, Beauty in the Making: Shui-Long Yen’. (Fig. 2) On the other hand in Japan, even though Yen was Japanese until 1945, he hasn’t been well recognized, and it appears as though he may have been intentionally forgotten with the history of Japanese colonization

    14) Phortica (Ashima) pavriarista Cheng & Chen, 2008 Phortica (Phortica) pavriarista Cheng & Chen in Cheng et al., 2008: 620. Phortica speculum (Maca & Lin, 1993): Chen et al., 2005b: 420 (part, misidentification). Phortica (Ashima) pavriarista: Chen & Máca, 2012: 507. Diagnosis. Arista only very slightly expanded apically (“Fig. 14” in Cheng et al. 2008); all postgonites strongly sclerotized, apically more or less pointed; posterior postgonite on only one lateral lobe of aedeagal sheath; lateral lobes submedially separated from each other; one lateral lobe of aedeagal sheath with 2 relatively close anterior postgonites (“Fig. 17” in Cheng et al. 2008). Supplementary description (not repeating characters common to P. foliiseta). Supracervical setae 12–14. Dorsomedial, tentorial apodeme 1/2 as long as basal, parallel portion of dorsolateral, tentorial apodeme. Longest, dorsal branch of arista shorter than longest seta on pedicel. Cibarial, medial sensilla 9–10 per side; posterior sensilla 4–6 per side. All tarsi with gray tarsomere V. The antisymmetry is observed in the postgonites: in A-type, the left lateral lobe bears 2 anterior postgonites, and the right lobe 1 posterior and 1 anterior postgonites (“Fig. 17” in Cheng et al. 2008); but in B-type, vice versa. Specimen examined. Thailand: 1♂ (B-type), above Sangwal, Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai, 1,250 m a.s.l., 6.i.2008, H. Bänziger leg. (SEHU). Distribution. China (Yunnan), Thailand *. Remarks. This species resembles P. andreagigoni in having the less expanded apex of arista, but can be distinguished from it by the diagnostic characters.Published as part of Toda, Masanori J., Bänziger, Hans, Sati, Pradeep C., Fartyal, Rajendra S., Suwito, Awit & Katoh, Toru, 2020, Taxonomy and evolution of asymmetric male genitalia in the subgenus Ashima Chen (Diptera: Drosophilidae: Phortica Schiner), with descriptions of seven new species, pp. 1-54 in Zootaxa 4789 (1) on page 20, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4789.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/388461
