HIST 074. The Consuming Passions: Visual and Material Cultures of East Asia
This course looks at the visual and material forces that shaped the production of social, political, and gender identities in East Asia during the 15th to 18th centuries. We will look at how gardens, clothing, painting, interior furnishings, among others became key sites of desire, pleasure, and contestation. In reconstructing these sites, our goal is to understand how the consuming passions were implicated in social, economic, and political change.
Prerequisite: A history course or permission of the instructor.
Eligible for ASIA credit.
