Her ongoing series\u003cem\u003e A Chronology of Conflated Dispersions\u003c/em\u003e considers the biographies of key cultural figures who also reflected on the politics of their time, and placed in the broader context of history. Two chronologies are presented here. A \u003cem\u003eChronology of Conflated Dispersion \u0026ndash; Duras and Yun\u003c/em\u003e intertwines the parallel biographies of the French writer Marguerite Duras (1914-96) and the Korean composer Isang Yun (1917-95). This merged chronology of figures who extracted their key experiences at home but also in other territories \u0026ndash; Duras lived in French-Indochina as a child and Yun lived in Germany in the latter part of his life \u0026ndash; is embedded within the legacy of imperialism, the Cold War and other pivotal social, cultural and political events.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA second chronology, \u003cem\u003eA Chronology of Conflated Dispersion \u0026ndash; Duras and Orwell\u003c/em\u003e, intertwines the biography of Duras with that of British writer George Orwell, who was similarly experienced the colonised Asia from the viewpoint of the coloniser \u0026ndash; in his case in India where he was born, with subsequent experiences in Burma. Yang\u0026rsquo;s merged chronologies invites us to look at the lives of these influential figures, to see how both personal experiences and socio-political affect played a role in forming radical alternative worldviews.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nVisitors are invited to take a copy of these chronologies.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n","description":""},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":2476,"name":"HAEGUE YANG ","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
