The unit will examine the theoretical and empirical implications of plural modernities in art, and not the singular, homogenous genealogy of Euramerican discussions. It examines problems of post-modern and post-colonial conceptions applied in Asian contexts, and the range of other models for interpreting modernities as parallel to or 'other' than those of Euramerica. Each student will present a theoretical survey of one issue and also an application of a theoretical position to a concrete Asian art historical case.
