Omschrijving | Course theme: "Curiosity, Fear, and Identity: Envisioning the Other in Global Medieval and Early Modern Visual Culture" This course explores different examples of non-Christian representations in medieval Europe and during the initial global expansion of colonial powers across the world after c. 1500. Medieval and early modern Christian Europeans depicted other peoples in manuscripts, paintings, prints, and early books for different reasons, ranging from proto-encyclopedic aims to, more commonly, the deep desire for proselytization and their subjugation for economic and geopolitical reasons. Medieval and early modern visual culture have been overlooked as historical witnesses with incredible potential to shed light on predominant mindsets and social processes regarding the turbulent confluence of religions, races, and colonialism during this age. Their messages have clear and important implications today within a globalised and multicultural world and often conflicting national and ethnic identities. The assessments for this course will consist of: 1) An individual book review on a recent, relevant title from a given list that will be provided in the syllabus. 2) The recording of a group podcast in either English or Dutch about a given topic related to the contents of the course from a list also provided in the syllabus. The group podcasts will be uploaded to the RUG Minor 'Art and Religion' Spotify and Youtube channels after the completion of the course. |
