ARHI 160 SC - Art and the British Empire
This seminar interrogates the role of art in the history of the British empire, which once ruled nearly a quarter of the world’s population. Using case studies in intercultural relations, global transit, and anti-colonial resistance from the seventeenth century to the present, we will explore cultural networks between Britain and North America, South Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Australasia. Themes will include ethnographic imagery and the construction of race, visual cultures of slavery, landscape art and settlement, Indigenous agency and the co-production of knowledge, science and exploration, collections and the politics of restitution, and post-colonial themes in contemporary art.
