JWST 382 - Religion, Art, and Politics Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)
(Same as RELI 382 ) Nowadays, we accept the idea that religion, like so much else, is political. It makes sense, then, that visual culture, which can be used, situated, manipulated and exploited in the service of religion can serve to affirm and in some cases to subvert the political messages of religion. This class explores examples of the collusions of religion, art and politics, as well as their collisions in the productions of majority and minority culture in Judaism, Christianity and Islam in the West, from antiquity to postmodernity. Marc Epstein.
Prerequisite(s): any 100- or 200-level course in Art or Religion.
One 2-hour period.
