Art East and West

 

This course addresses the vexed encounter East and West, focusing on East Asia--China, Japan, and Korea. The subject is enormous-too complex for us to consider adequately in a semester--so the course addresses broad themes. The course reviews Western 'orientalism,' as well as Eastern 'self-orientalism,' and draws on East Asian traditions to offer alternative practices that challenge epistemologies grounding many contemporary problems, problems ranging well beyond that of 'East' and 'West.'
