![]() ![]() Specific topics will include prominent and influential theories of pedagogy and learning as well as the historical and cultural dynamics of race and ethnicity in learning. Historians call this approach cultural history, anthropologists call it historical ethnography. We will study the past as a deeply constitutive force in the present. It can be thought of broadly as the process by which people acquire knowledge, attitudes, values, and skills. As scholars in history and anthropology have shown in recent decades, learning can be found in classrooms, families, churches, and public places. Instead, we will consider education in the context of learning and culture. In this course we examine “education” by looking beyond the typical setting of the school. For an understanding of how culture shapes feminine forms, representations of women will be examined from a cross-cultural perspective particularly Western and Asian that encompasses issues of identity, status, empowerment, women’s movements, and human rights. The great power of the visual to affect the way we think and to promote cultural, political and economic changes demands a deep understanding of the visual forms, their deconstruction, transformation, re-usage, and contestation. This brings us to the next question, of how culture shapes the visual, and how culture affects the visual. Students will examine the ‘shaping’ of feminine forms from a multi-cultural and objective perspective. The representation of women in sculpture, painting, print, and photography are shaped by cultures and the debates surrounding them, have implications on contemporary attitudes and behavior towards them. This seminar course attempts to explore the visual and historical context of the changing portrayals of women across cultures and relates it to their social, political and cultural context. Throughout the history of art, women have been important and primary subjects of a variety of arts and those of visual culture.
