AN 340 - Non-Western Art

Min Units: 3
Max Units: 3
This course examines the cultural and social significance of art in non-western contexts, ranging from paintings and sculptures, to performing and body arts. We consider how the category “art” itself has been defined in modern times, paying particular attention to the political process of representing creative cultural products outside of the Euro-American trope through management of museums, auctions, and knowledge-producing institutions.
