Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Content: This course aims to shed light on the development of research and reception of Indian art, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In this period determined by British colonial rule, key figures such as Alexander Cunningham or James Ferguesson studied and categorized the art of South Asia systematically for the first time, but mostly from the point of view of European aesthetics. In contrast, the concurrent studies of Indian scholars such as Ram Raz, who also dealt with the cultural environment of the art objects, received little attention at the time. Therefore, this course will focus on the following questions, among others: How were art and cultural monuments in India analyzed, evaluated, and discussed by European and Indian scholars? What is generally understood by "Indian art" then and now, and how much more attention has been paid to certain periods of art in India than to others as a result of Western thinking? How do the early publications on painting, sculpture, and architecture of the Indian subcontinent still shape our perception of Indian art today, and how do they influence research interests and foci of art historians even decades later?Goal: The course will familiarize students with early pioneering texts on Indian art and architecture and thus develop a critical approach to research topics and different interpretations and methodologies. The focus is on evaluating and interpreting early art historical studies and discussing how they shape our understanding and approach to Indian art.Method: Art historical methods and developments are discussed on the basis of various case studies (texts) on painting, sculpture and architecture of India. In addition to the critical reading of selected literature, the careful analysis and interpretation of objects discussed in the texts in oral as well as written form is essential.
