ART 385 - Seminar in American Art Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
(Same as AMST 385 ) Topic for 2024/2025a: Asian Americanist Art Histories, 1835 - 1905. What does it mean to visualize Asian America in the nineteenth century? What tools do we have for responsibly and rigorously engaging the communities, objects, images, and histories that predate the term “Asian America”? This course asks how an Asian Americanist approach to American visual culture can expand our understandings of citizenship and empire, land and landscape, display culture, intersectional constructions of gender, and archival authority. Our chronology begins with the visual imprint of the first Chinese woman to visit in the United States and ends with the exhibit of Philippine colonies in the 1904 St. Louis world’s fair. Through readings in critical methods and thematic historical topics, we develop a familiarity with the field of Asian Americanist studies past and present, and interrogate what constitutes “Asian American art/history.” Serena Qiu.
