The seminar focuses on analysing and critically reflecting on the image of women and the representation of femininity in various artistic media, taking into account the cultural, social and historical contexts.Objectives:
1. to research and analyse works of art (painting, sculpture, film) from South Asia that focus on women and the female body.
2. critically analysing artistic representations with regard to gender roles, identity and socio-cultural influences.
3. deepening the understanding of the diversity of artistic forms of expression in South Asia.
4. development of interdisciplinary perspectives through the combination of critical textual and visual analysis and a broad range of cultural studies approaches.Methods include:

2. interdisciplinary discussion: different perspectives and approaches, especially from art and cultural studies, South Asian studies, gender studies, literature, etc. will be incorporated into the discourse.
