| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1304 This is a topics course. Course content varies.; Current topic description: Traditional Chinese calligraphy is one of the few subfields of art history in which little systematic theorization has been conducted in modern scholarship. This is partly due to the absence of a Western counterpart. Calligraphy never rose to the status of an equal of painting in the West, but in traditional China, it was the most privileged art category and regarded as the foundation of painting. This course explores the unique theoretical and historical underpinnings of ancient Chinese calligraphy in light of contemporary critical theories and ancient Chinese calligraphy theories and practices. Aspects to be examined include ontology, embodiment, topology, technique, agency, ethics, politics, religion, etc. . |
