    ENCOUNTERING THE GODDESS IN INDIA Religion 220 Dr. Joel R. Smith Spring, 2012 Skidmore College An introduction to the Hindu religious culture of India through a study of major Hindu goddesses. The vision (darsan) of and devotion (bhakti) to the feminine divine image will be explored in terms of both the Goddess worshipped in her own right independently of any male god, and goddesses worshipped as the spouse or consort of a male god. An interdisciplinary approach will explore the religious meaning of the Hindu goddess in literature, painting, poetry, ritual, and sculpture. Learning Goals: (1) Learn about the meaning of the major Hindu Goddesses of India: their history, scriptures, myths, rituals, iconography, and symbolism. (2) Place the Goddesses and devotion to them in the context of other kinds of Hindu religious movements. (3) Learn about the culture of India through the study of Hindu Goddesses. (4) Develop critical concepts and methodologies for the study of religions in India and elsewhere. (5) Practice subtle reading, writing, and analytical skills, including critical evaluation, by discussing readings in class and by writing essays about them. (6) Consider feminist aspects of the Goddesses and their relevance for non-Hindu Westerners, especially women. Office Hours: I would be delighted to talk with you outside of class.

Although tExts such as the Early Upaniṣads are rather too oftEn taken to typify “Indian philosophy,” Much of what wE read particularly in the first half of the tErm Might be bettEr charactErizEd as “quasi-philosophical” – as pregnant with philosophically significant insights and reflEctions, but not yet systEMatic in the ways that will charactErizE the Indian philosophical tradition from about the fifth cEntury CE, onward. NEverthelEss, Most of the viEws developed with increasing sophistication latEr in the tradition can be recognizEd as stEMMing from divergent intuitions first laid down in the earliEst, quasi-philosophical tExts. Tracing the early developmEnt of somE of thesE, wE will take somE soundings in a few of the divergent “schools” or (more litErally) “perspectives” (darśanas) that provide the principal rubrics for latEr philosophical discoursE – in particular, in influential works from a few Brahmanical traditions of thought (Sāṃkhya, Nyāya, and Pūrva MīMāṃsā), as wEll as from the Buddhist and other non- Brahmanical traditions that wEre so influential for the history of Indian philosophy.

We begin by considering the notably recent category of “Hinduism” and identify key concepts that will guide our study. We will read selections from a range of theological texts, epics, and stories of the gods that have permeated many aspects of daily Hindu life. We will also emphasize ritual activities, the importance of visual experiences in temples, and networks of pilgrimage places that dot the subcontinent. Last, we will survey the many modern incarnations of Hinduism throughout South Asia and the diaspora. By the conclusion of this course, students will be conversant in the major texts, beliefs, and practices of Hindu traditions in their cultural and historical contexts and also have a working knowledge of basic categories important for the study of religion more broadly.

Thanks to the depart- ment’s tradition of excellence and collegial atmosphere, as well as the loyalty of our alumni and the resources they provide, the chairmanship presents a remarkable opportunity to build From the Chair on great strengths. I have set two primary goals as chair. The first is to take advantage of our location in the art capital of the world, a goal also embraced by our new president, Lee Bollinger. This means cultivating our relationships with museums and enriching our curriculum with seminars taught by museum curators. We are now offering an undergraduate seminar at the Dia Center for the Arts and organizing graduate seminars at the Metropolitan Museum nearly every semester. Moreover, the master’s program in Modern Art and Curatorial Studies was launched this year in collaboration with the Whitney Museum. (See the story on page 11.) The department is also assuming a more public role in the cultural life of New York City. The Columbia Seminar on Art in Society will be inaugurated on September 27, with a public pro- gram on “Monument and Memory.” (For details, see below.) It is to be the first in an annual series of events exploring the role of art in society.

  • Columbia University Department of Art History and Archaeology Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Fine Arts Center Fall 2012
    COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF ART HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY MIRIAM AND IRA D. WALLACH FINE ARTS CENTER 826 FALL 2012 schermerhorn from the chairman’s office AFTER TWO YEARS OF WORKING closely with our graduate students as Director of Graduate Studies, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as Chairman of our distinguished Department. During the past academic year our faculty and students received an outstanding number of awards and honors. A few must be singled out. Vidya Dehejia received the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award in the Republic of India; Rosalind Krauss was elected to the American Philosophical Society; and Barry Bergdoll was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Furthermore, our faculty members have been engaged in many new and exciting projects, which you will get a glimpse of in the following pages. Unfortunately, the year ended with a sad loss for our community. Professor Natalie Boymel Kampen passed away in Rhode Island on August 12. A short tribute in this newsletter highlights aspects of Tally’s distinguished career as a teacher, beloved mentor, and leading scholar of Roman art. Her warmth, intellectual generosity, and delightful presence will be deeply missed in and around Schermerhorn Hall. Generous donations from many alumni and friends continued to benefit our students throughout the year. A gift from Gregory Wyatt (’71 CC) enabled us to offer several summer research opportunities to our graduate students including the Cathedral Fund Fellowship LEFT: Professors de Angelis and Klein with the Travel Seminar at the Roman at the Royal Academy of Art in London.
