ARHS 3341 - Portraiture and Selfhood
Credits: 3
Examines the development of portraiture and self-portraiture against the backdrop of changing social, political, religious, and psychological constructs of the self, and in the contexts of artistic theory and practice. Topics include the construction of gender; the reinforcement and subversion of class distinctions; the changing definition of citizenship, religious, and secular ideas of the self; national and racial identity in the context of colonization and global exchange; the artist’s self-image; and the distinction between human and animal.
