Walter W Heller Hall 445
Course Catalog Description:
Visual culture of Atlantic world, from Columbus to American Revolution. Visual objects, practices considered in context of Europe's colonization of Americas. Slavery, religious conflict, international commerce, production of scientific knowledge addressed in terms of their impact upon visual imagery.
Class Description:
This course explores the visual culture of the Atlantic World from the time of the Columbian encounter through the revolutionary period in North America. Art historical approaches to early modern visual culture have traditionally been defined by distinct--and distinctly artificial--national and cultural entities (England, France, Spain, the Americas, Africa, etc.). This course, however, will treat the broad geographic region of the Atlantic rim as a fluid space defined by the circulation and exchange of peoples, goods, and knowledges. We will investigate visual representations (including paintings, prints, maps, scientific imagery, decorative arts), collecting practices, and visual performances and spectacle through the key issues that defined this circum-Atlantic context: slavery and the slave trade, contact and exchange with indigenous cultures, international commerce and politics, religious debate and conflict, and the production of scientific knowledge. No pre-requisites. For advanced undergraduates and graduate students.
