SA 336 - Cross-Cultural Study of Art

Institution:

Denison University

Subject:

Description:

The course focuses on expressive culture in a variety of sociocultural settings across the globe. We examine sociological and anthropological theories used to study the relationship between art and society. In particular, the course examines the complex relationships between non-Western art and European art contexts. The role that the producer, dealer, consumer and the global market play in these relationships will receive special attention. The appropriation and assimilation of art across national and cultural boundaries raise fascinating questions concerning "authenticity," "value," and meaning. The course also examines the role of museums and art exhibitions in representing the art of non- Western societies and diasporic communities. Prerequisite: S/A 100 or by consent.(4 credits)
