Description
This course exposes students to a number of approaches to doing art history with art in China. It aims to familiarize students with art in China via:
a) scholarly discourse relevant to the modern discipline of art history;
b) debates and data relevant to particular conditions of art and historical discourse concerning art in China;
c) methods most useful for sociological and aesthetic enquiry into art in China
To contextualize the aims of b) and c) within the state of the discipline (a), the course engages with issues of content and form, media and circulation, authorship, definitions of art/craft and canon formation in several periods of China’s pre- and early modern history. Most course readings concern China, but a small amount will present germane issues through engagement with other regions.
