ARTS 480 - Displaying Islamic Art and Architecture


Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 Credits
Attribute: 4HU

New course added 06.21.13.

A detailed exploration of the multiple knowledges that converge, coalesce and contribute to the display and evaluation of the Islamic artworks at the major 19th and 20th century exhibitions, World’s fairs, and recent museum exhibits. Emphasis will be on Western ‘orientalism’, as well as Eastern ‘self-orientalism,’ but we will also discuss alternating voices challenging the problematic dichotomy between the ‘Islamic East’ and the ‘West’. The course involves field trips, research, and class-sessions in the AMAM.
