The course explores processes of artistic encounter and exchange from the early modern period to the present day, integrating global, transcultural, and postcolonial approaches. It will take its cue from the Netherlands and their relation to the world, both in a historical and a contemporary perspective.
Participants will first be confronted with the ways in which Netherlandish art testifies to the increased interconnectivity of the Early Modern world. The Low Countries were an essential node during “First Globalization”: Antwerp and Amsterdam became global capitals while the ‘world’s first multinational’, the Dutch East India Company, heralded the age of classical capitalism. Fortuitous factors, including successful mercantile logistics, the geographical reach of the Jesuit mission, and the thriving publishing and translation industry made the area a crucible of cultural exchange. Everyday lives changed as foreign luxuries, and local copies, became widely available. Eventually, Dutch imitations of Chinese porcelain found their way to colonists in Surinam. These new luxuries tend to disguise that they were only made possible through slavery and forced labor in the East and West Indies.
In the second half of the course the time line will be extended to the global art world of the 20th-21st centuries and contemporary approaches of global, transcultural, and postcolonial art history. Themes that will play a role are, amongst others, global versus local; the agency of material culture; Orientalism and the exotic; cultural appropriation and hybridity; and cross-mediality.
The entrance requirements for Exchange Students will be checked by the International Office and the Programme coordinator. Acceptance is not self-evident.
