Classical and Near Eastern Religions and Cultures (10956)TCLA - College of Liberal Arts
Course description
What happens when two cultures meet? How do different cultures shape and influence each other? In this course, we'll examine how the diverse cultures of the Ancient Eurasian world became entangled with one another through the material remains they left behind. We'll use a variety of tools and techniques to analyze and interpret objects, spaces, and art—from the Egyptians and Sassanians to the Romans and Qin and Han dynasties. Uncover a more nuanced and inclusive understanding of how these ancient cultures changed their ideologies, iconographies, and modes of representation through trade networks, political alliances, and colonial enterprise.
