Art-Arch 4915 - Caribbean Art and the Cultures of Globalism

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

Diaspora can be viewed as a concept or method that insists on a level of complexity historically denied art being made outside of the centers of Western art. It is dialectical and offers infinite avenues of exploration. The Caribbean is a hyper-Diaspora, both a site of dispersal and a point of departure for people of African, Indian, Chinese and European origin as well as native peoples. This course explores the artistic, visual, and performance culture of the region in the context of globalism. In process it engages fundamental aspects of art historical scholarship, theory, and methodology, historiography, aesthetics, and the representation of power. Prerequisites: Art-Arch 112 (Introduction to Western Art), or Art-Arch 211 (Introduction to Modern Art); one 300-level course in Art History preferred or permission of instructor.
