BEASTS: ANIMALS IN ART AND SOCIETY We will examine the various roles of animals in art and society across time, from the caves of the Paleolithic era through our present relationship with domestic, disposable, and working animals. Art is continually haunted by the animal; they are good to kill and eat, ride, hunt, train for battle, keep as companions, paint, and ritualize. What would Thanksgiving be without our national turkey, Easter without our rabbits and chicks? Proceeding chronologically, students will investigate and analyze key issues and themes in man's attitudes and relationships to animals-often paradoxical--and the role of animals in art and society as manifest in visual culture and social studies, for example: the symbolism of animals; social constructions of animals and the human/animal boundary; animals in commerce, scientific research, pet-keeping, and therapy; the animal soul; abuse of animals and the animal protection movement; animal emotions, intelligence, and reflexivity; the human-animal bond. 3 credits.

Pilgrimage of some sort and of some length was an integral part of the lives of most medieval men and women. Just as we travel to Europe and other faraway places to discover our roots, our tradition, ourselves, the medieval pilgrim journeyed to churches and shrines, to monasteries and holy wells, in order to bring him/herself closer to sacred sites, bodies and belongings of saints, and significant relics, for either repentance or spiritual discovery and renewal. This course will examine the medieval arts involved in the art of pilgrimage: architecture, fresco, mosaic, statuary, stained glass, and liturgical arts. ARH 0175 or ARH 0232 are preparatory but not required courses. During designated semesters, this course will feature a 3 credit travel/study component in the form of a modern pilgrimage to visit the Romanesque and Gothic churches and other liturgical arts of the pilgrimage road to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
