SAST 3490
Knowing South Asia: The Forms of Apprehension
Course Description
In this class we will examine how South Asia (primarily India, Pakistan, and Bangla Desh) came to be a legitimate area of academic investigation within the modern American and European university. How did the various disciplinary discourses pertaining to South Asia (anthropology, religious studies, art history, literature, etc.) get their starts? A close look at the history of British colonialism will serve as our point of departure.
