What is art? Or, what does art do? In this course we will try to answer these questions by surveying works of art from a range of different cultures across the globe that represent tens of thousands of years of human history. The majority of our time will be spent studying non-western art and art created by historically marginalized artists and communities. This class will be divided into modules centralized around important themes in art history that will allow us to consider why art is made, how art is made, and why art is so important to human history.

Visualizing Race, Power, and Colonialism in Premodern Europe

Racism and colonialism are often discussed as modern phenomena, but where do the origins of these issues lie? In this class we’ll study the premodern histories of these topics by examining medieval and Renaissance ideas about race and representation, empire building, pilgrimage, and crusade. We will also look closely at the premodern histories of contested sites such as Sicily, Istanbul, and Jerusalem, and more. We will focus on studying sources that emerged out of cross-cultural encounters including but not limited to manuscripts, architectural sites, sculptures, and textual sources. Prereq: one 400- or 500-level art history course or permission of the instructor.
