3 hours Envisioning History in S. Asia How has the history of South Asia been envisioned through a range of art formssculpture, prints, films, performances, and spectacles? Might such modes of visual expression be understood to impart affective historical knowledge or are they largely in service of the ideological agendas of their makers? Can we overcome text-bound assumptions about the construction of history to unpack the role of visual and material culture in shaping, archiving, and obscuring the past? Although not dedicated solely to film, this course will include close readings of a selection of historical films from South Asia and a consideration of broader film studies scholarship on the historical film as a genre. Prior knowledge of South Asian art history is desirable but not required; all highly motivated students are welcome! Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.
