REL 260 - South Asia: Tradition and Today4 credits
This course analyzes religion as cultural traditions that have influentially defined the South Asian region across the centuries and up to the present, largely through a consideration of the literature, arts, and practices of India. Thematic topics include social definitions of community, traditional depictions of status according to occupation, class and gender, and the creation of paths of ethical behavior that promote social cohesion. We explore these themes through historical interactions among traditions as well as challenges to and the use of tradition in the present day. Primary texts in translation, art and documentary film are central to the course of study. Offered fall semester. CLA-Breadth/Humanities, CLA-Diversity International
