Ankündigung für das Frühlingssemester 2011 (Lehrveranstaltung 642309)
Seminar: Feminine Space in Chinese Art and Visual Culture

Professor Wu Hung (University of Chicago, Art History) und Professor Judith Zeitlin (University of Chicago, East Asian Languages and Civilizations)

[singlepic id=343 w=180 float=left]Feminine space denotes an actual or imaginary space, which is perceived and represented as a woman. Unlike an isolated female portrait or an individual female symbol, a feminine space is a spatial entity — an artificial world comprised of landscape, vegetation, architecture, atmosphere, climate, color, fragrance, light, and sound, as well as selected human occupants and their activities. This course traces the construction of this space in traditional Chinese art and visual culture (including representations of such space in literature and theater) and the social/political implications of this constructive process.

ACHTUNG: Blockseminar, 20.06.2011 – 01.07.2011 (vorlesungsfreie Zeit), genaue Termine werden noch bekannt gegeben.
Ort: Seminarraum Villa Schönberg (Museum Rietberg), Gablerstrasse 14
Unterrichtssprache: Englisch

Auf Olat werden vor Beginn des Seminars Informationen und Materialien bereitgestellt, interessierte Studierende werden gebeten, sich dort für den Kurs zu einzuschreiben.
