Course Description

In this graduate seminar we will assess the state of the field of “Pre-Columbian” art history—that is the history of art and architecture of the region that is now considered Latin America until about 1550. We will read important recent and foundational texts and discuss the intellectual possibilities and ethical stakes of this field of Americanist art history moving into the twenty-first century. The final assignment will be a long-form review essay.

This course is designed for MA and PhD students in the art history of the Americas until about 1550, and is also open to students in affine areas of art history, archaeology, anthropology, and Latin American literature. Relevant coursework is a prerequisite for this advanced seminar.

Spanish reading ability is required. Enrollment is by application.
