The Invention of Latin American Art History

Departing from the work of Walter Mignolo and Michel-Rolph Trouillot, this seminar investigates the various ways that scholars have crafted art historical narratives about Latin American art. After gaining a theoretical grounding and learning about the canonical construction of Latin American art history, we will explore recent publications that diverge from the attempts to forge linear stories about art in the region. In addition to interrogating the shaping of Latin American art history, we will also discuss the idea of "global" art histories and their Global North lens. For their final project, students will select a box in an archival repository in Southern California to examine the arguments made by the makeup of the box.
VIS STD (S24)295  IMAGERY OF VIOLENCEOSORIO, L
Images of violence and warfare are pervasive in the ancient Egyptian material record. Starting before the dawn of the Egyptian state and continuing throughout dynastic history, images of violence depicted and expressed different forms of power. The smiting king is one of the most well-known iconographic motifs from this ancient civilization. Despite their pervasiveness, the interpetation of violent images is not straightforward. What relationship is there between such images and historical events, ritual events, and royal ideology? How do such images function? In this class, we will take a contextual and comparative approach to understand how these images were used in the past. In doing so, we will also think about how we might disentangle ideology and historicity in imagery from other times and places.
VIS STD (S24)295  ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ARTOSORIO, L
This upper division course will explore, in detail, ancient Egyptian art from the Predynastic period (ca. 4000 – 3200 BCE) through the New Kingdom (ca. 1550 – 1069 BCE). Beyond discussing the major categories of art for each period and some of the more famous pieces of ancient Egyptian art, such as Khafre’s statue or Nefertiti’s bust, students in this class will become familiar with the varied contexts, purposes, and audiences of distinct categories of ancient Egyptian art through the discussion of thematic topics such as identity, propaganda, and ideology. Together, we will interrogate how ancient Egyptian art (and ancient art more generally) compares to our modern understanding of “art” and think about the place of ancient Egyptian art in the modern world as compared to how it functioned in the past.
