This seminar examines the portrayal of race and ethnicity in Greek visual art.Contents:
This seminar will examine how Greeks and non-Greeks were portrayed in ancient Greek visual art between the Archaic and the early Hellenistic periods (c.700-200 BCE). During this period, Greek ideas about ethnicity and race changed dramatically, as did conventions for the visual representations of both Greeks and non-Greeks. Engaging critically with both modern and ancient theories of race and ethnicity, we will explore Greek depictions of Africans including Egyptians and Ethiopians; Asians including Persians and Indians; and northern barbarians including Gauls and Scythians. To do this, we will focus primarily on painted pottery, but will also consider depictions in a range of other media including decorative arts, relief sculpture, and freestanding sculpture.Method:
This seminar will be taught entirely online, each week comprising an information video and guided activity (asynchronous), and one discussion seminar (synchronous).
