REL 364 - South Asia Through Art and Text

4 credits
This course introduces students to the study of South Asia religions through both art and text. The course explores the relationships between these two major avenues of historical and contemporary record that are available to us for the study of religion. In exploring the dynamic interaction between art and text, we take into consideration the respective properties of each medium, including text’s unfolding of story over the time it takes to read, while art favors an immediate visual impact. We also explore relevant contextual issues in South Asian history, aesthetics and authorship. May be repeated for credit as topic changes. Offering to be determined.
