Course Catalog Description:
Americans of Asian descent comprise one of the fastest-growing racial groups in the U.S. today. While large numbers of Asian Americans have been in the U.S. since the middle of the nineteenth century, it is only in the past few decades that they have been widely recognized in art, culture, and media. This course focuses on how writing, art, performance, film, and/or other works of culture registers the experiences of Asian Americans past and present. How do individual artists or writers depict themselves and others as part of families, communities, or nations? How do questions of race, racism, family, identity, immigration, labor, citizenship, inequality, gender, sexuality, media stereotypes, and activism affect the perspectives and the creative choices in these works?
Class Description:
Taught by visiting instructor artist, Ed Bok Lee. Students who have taken this course, may take it again during SPR07. See AAS director. This course will introduce students to the richness of contemporary Asian American culture and arts, such as literature, music, photography, film, dance, and theater. It will further knowledge of how artists working in these forms and other media express their individual and communal experiences and concerns in a variety of ways. In order to encourage students to critique and interpret historical and contemporary artistic expression in light of the historical and sociocultural contexts in which it was produced, its aesthetic form, and its impact on individuals and communities, a one credit service-learning component will be required to complete the course. This research project will focus on Still Present Pasts: Korean Americans and the "Forgotten War,"a nationally-touring visual art exhibit created in modern response to the Korean War (1950 - 1953), and will allow students to work with local community resources to gain hands-on insights into the notions of home, identity, the interplay of personal and public history, the role of art in society, and community formation. Students will be expected to explore their own cultural contradictions through both critical and creative writing and expression, catalyzed by in-class exercises and assignments, as well as attendance at and participation in local arts events.
