Document Summary
Please identify each of these artworks by artist, title, date, and culture of manufacture. In an essay in which you make specific reference to five objects, and three authors from the course readings, please answer the following question: C: map of buddhist monuments in east asia. Before i begin to address the idea of the metropolis, i would like to reiterate some basic ideas about the notion of the monument, especially the buddhist one, in relation to the arts of east asia. To begin, i would like to reiterate that for me as a scholar and teacher monument and monumentality are flexible concepts that can be defined and understood in many ways. Each slightly different definition of the terms monument and monumentality, however, creates a slightly different analytical framework. Definitions of monument and monumentality might be tweaked by the user to elucidate specific geographic, cultural, and historical contexts in which humans manufacture artifacts.
