3 hours Colonial Andean Painting This seminar examines easel and mural painting of the Andean region during the 300-year period of Spanish control (15321824), during which it was called the Viceroyalty of Peru. One particular center of painting, known as the Cuzco School and located in the former Inka capital of Cusco, has long been recognized, but painting flourished in other areas as well. There have only recently been substantial publications that allow for a sustained analysis of the ways in which painting developed throughout the Andes (in Cuzco as well as in Lima, Quito, and Bolivian cities). Taking advantage of new publications and online resources, the course will address the main methods of studying this art, both past and current. We will then apply a decolonial approach to the newly-accessible corpus of Andean painting. This involves questioning the ways in which the Eurocentric discipline of art history has been applied to the Andean material. It also implies working to recognize, understand, and characterize the Indigenous and/or non-European features of Andean art and artists. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.

Disaster as Form If modernity is rooted in the twin catastrophes of capitalism and colonialism, is modernity itself a disaster? Rather than approaching disasters as singular, contained events that happen suddenly and randomly in a particular place and time, this seminar is concerned with the longue-dure of disasters, focusing thereby on what came before and lingering in the long shadows that they cast years after they occur. Disasters are human creations, and in this seminar, we will examine how they are imagined, produced, and managed. Paraphrasing Marshall McLuhan, the disaster is the message.

Palimpsests in S Asia Originally referring to manuscripts, the palimpsest, which involves the partial or full erasure of an earlier text to allow for the inscribing of a new text, has emerged as a metaphor and method for examining the accretion of meanings across many phenomena. This seminar will investigate theories of the palimpsest alongside examples from South Asia, including the reuse of architectural remains, acts of overpainting, the reinstallation of icons in new devotional contexts, and the layering of urban environments. We will also devote special attention to the projection of sound and light shows onto historic architectural facades. Knowledge of South Asian art history is welcome but not required.
