Global Art History
Suzanne Blier
Monday 3-5:45pm
Global Art History is a relatively new field taken up partially a response to the challenge posed by global and the challenge to rewrite Art History. Often framed by hermetic and geographically-defined vantages – including nationalist ones, such approaches have often left out insights into the cultural dynamics and entanglements cross between places and peoples. This course focuses both on the core issues in play in creating a more global approach to Art History, and, in a pragmatic sense, on constructing a new course around this subject. Reframing the disciplinary model of art history around related discussions and exercises encourage us to explore often marginalized broader world artistic practices and experiences as well as related contexts of cross-engagement and entanglement.
