[slideme title=”ARTH 1100 Art and Society: Prehistory to the Renaissance – Fall term”]
- Instructor: Stéphane Roy
- This course offers a survey of Western and non-Western art – painting, sculpture, architecture – from prehistory to the Renaissance.

It aims to provide students with the basic notions for recognizing and understanding artefacts and art production from the major periods encompassed within this course. Through lectures and readings, students will acquire the necessary knowledge and develop skills enabling them to perform formal and contextual analyses of various works of art, from the earliest manifestation of human creativity up to medieval times. Textbook TBD.

[slideme title=”ARTH 4005 Topics in Contemporary Aboriginal Art: Creative Engagement with Aboriginal Self-Portraits: A Discourse on the Nature of Self-Representation – Winter term”]
- * Can be taken for graduate credit
- Instructor: Allan J. Ryan, New Sun Chair in Aboriginal Art and Culture
- Associate Professor, Art History/Canadian Studies
- Contact: allan.ryan@carleton.ca; www.trickstershift.com
- Course description: This course will take as its primary referent, About Face: Self-Portraits by Native American, First Nations and Inuit Artists, the catalogue to an exhibition of contemporary Aboriginal self-portraits co-curated by the instructor, and shown at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 2005-2006. Still the only exhibition of its kind, this body of work will be considered in light of the history of Native American self-representation, from its early focus on communal and socio-political identities to the emergence of more individualistic portrayals in the late 19th and early 20th century; and in light of the history of Western self-portraiture from the Renaissance period to the present. Interdisciplinary thinking is encouraged.
- This course is more broadly about the construction of personal identity and its public presentation, and the implementation of Indigenous pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning that privilege holistic and experiential learning, the construction of safe and sacred spaces, relationality, personal narratives, and writing from the heart. As such, a primary component of the course is the creation and presentation of a student self-portrait viewed in conversation with those of fellow classmates and Aboriginal artists discussed in the course.
- This class is unlike any other class you are likely to take. As one student wrote, quoting from the Wheelwright Museum comment book, “‘the show is beautiful, dynamic and will stay with me for a long time.” That’s the way I feel about this course. I am truly grateful for this course, the experience I had here was unlike any other and the stories I heard will stay with me.”

- XL w/ CLMD 6902 and ANTH 5807

[slideme title=”ARTH 5112G Topics in Historiography, Methodology and Criticism – Historical Representation and Historical Memory – Fall term”]
- Instructor: Mark Phillips
- We tend to think of history as the special domain of historians, but in reality historical representation has a much wider compass, including biography, historical memory, fiction, and the visual arts. In your term papers, you will also be encouraged to extend this range still further where questions of historical representation enter into your wider interests.
- Our starting point will be a recognition that all forms of historical thinking and description are deeply engaged with issues of mediation, memory, and distance. Drawing on a variety of theoretical discussions and close readings, we will explore a number of modes of historical representation as expressed in works on history, tradition, memory, the novel, art theory, and memoir. Special attention will also be given to problems of narrativity and distance as exemplified in the historical thought of the 18th and 19th centuries.

- This is an interdisciplinary course situated at the intersection of World Studies and Diaspora Studies. The course will provide an overview of recent theoretical discourses in both world studies and diaspora studies, and investigate how they can be productively put into conversation. The course will consider how we configure ideas of the global on three levels—as scale, as actor theory, and as method. We will investigate multiple intellectual models of theorizing the global and the diasporic, and also consider the limits of both in a number of disciplines in the humanities, but with a focus on art history.

This course assumes that students will have already been exposed to New Museology critiques, or that they will take ARTH 5218 simultaneously. If this is not the case, students are requested to contact the professor for additional readings.
