The arts of Southeast Asia will be studied in their social context, since art plays a role in most of the salient occasions in life in traditional societies. Special emphasis will be devoted to developments in Indonesia, Thailand, and Cambodia. Among topics covered will be the shadow puppet theater of Java, textiles, architecture, sculpture, and Bali’s performance tradition.
