| Ancient America: Art, Architecture, and Archaeology (L) | | Course Number | ARH 204-01-LEC | | Course Title | Ancient America: Art, Architecture, and Archaeology (L) | | Department | Art History | | Campus | Smith College | | Course Description | What is ?antiquity? in the Americas? This class explores this question by focusing on pre-Hispanic visual culture. We will cross both Mesoamerica and the Andes, giving particular attention to the Aztecs, Inca, and Maya. Along with architecture, textiles, sculpted works and book arts, we will consider current debates in art history and archaeology. Among the themes we will discuss: collecting and cultural patrimony; tourism and its ties to archaeology; relationships between national identities and ancient cultures, and the differences between art historical and anthropological modes of interpretation. |
