- demonstrerer solidt kendskab til kursets emne og kunne relatere det studerede emne til en bredere kulturel, samfundsmæssig og politisk kontekst i Sydasien.
The image, whether as icon or as picture, figures very prominently in India - perhaps even more prominently than in other cultures and some scholars even speak of a specific "visual and visionary culture" (D. Eck). This strong focus on visuality is expressed e.g. in the concept of darshan , i.e. the idea of a visual exchange - to see and to be seen by gods, but also kings and others - an idea subsequently extended into new realms such as photography or film.
Indians are known to be very fond of pictures - pictures understood here in both senses: films as well as photographs. While the film industry, especially Bollywood, and its cultural creativity is relatively well-known, similar ideas such as exploring potential selves, imagining the extraordinary etc. are also expressed in photography. Combining historical and anthropological perspectives the course will deal with various contemporary visual materials and practices in India - with "studio stories" in the wider sense, i.e. looking at photo-studios as well as film-studios. It will be held as a three hours course and will include film material.
