Description: This seminar will explore the cultural interactions of groups living inside and outside Europe between 1400 and 1600, especially Jews, Muslims, Christian, Italians, the Dutch, and Africans. Readings will draw from history, anthropology, literary studies, and art history, but our focus will be Renaissance art. We will examine cultural exchange between nations; national differentiation and identity; how religious minorities negotiated the dominant culture; the influence of Islamic art; and visualizations of race and colonial subjects. This course is limited to first-year students only.
