Expanded Course Description
This course introduces students to the discipline of art history through the examination of the art, film, and architecture of modern and contemporary (20th century) Asia within their broader social, political, and economic contexts. The course is organized thematically, and will explore key examples of art, film, and architecture from across a variety of countries in Asia (encompassing East, South, and Southeast Asia), and will also explore examples of Western representations understood as reflections of the “Asian imaginary.” The course integrates theoretical texts that explore the topic of Asian cultural production, while accounting for issues surrounding national specificities, cultural differences, and transnational practices. This course meets the criteria for the Arts and Letters group in that it emphasizes students’ ability to understand, critically analyze, and interpret contemporary art, film, and architecture from the diverse cultures of Asia, and creates meaningful opportunities for students to actively engage art historical modes of inquiry (e.g., formal, social, post-colonial) within the wider context of a globally-oriented history of contemporary art and visual culture.
