Reading - Multinational Casts and Epistemic Risk: The Case of Pan-Asian Cinema by Jinhee Choi

Epistemic Risk:

• Not "authenticity" "fidelity" "accuracy"; but mixed
• Deals with favoriable or unfavorable conditions under which audiences can view and determine the authenticity or accuracy of a work.
• East-West co-ventures; pan-Asian case.

Change of Epistemic Method

• A connoisseur is free from cultural limitations and personal predilections, and is able to contextualize an artwork within its proper historical and artistic traditions
• → Priority is instead given to accessibility for those who lack cultural knowledge.

Walton's Four Rules

• The degree to which the work adheres to the standard features of the category
• Maximization of aesthetic value
• The artist's intention
• Audience's familiarity / expert's knowledge.

^^ Focus on the bottom three.
