Narrating Objects, Art and Archives

In two monumental works now held in the Prado Museum, the artist Francisco de Goya captured the 2 May 1808 insurrection of Spanish people (who were then under occupation by French troops), as well as Napoleon’s brutal suppression of dissidents the following day. The work of Goya and others provokes the question: might an artist also be a historian? Indeed, might artists sometimes ‘make’ history? Holbein certainly did so. His portrait of Anne of Cleves led to another ill-fated marriage of Henry VIII. Ngurrara artists also changed history when their 1997 map of the Great Sandy Desert transformed understandings of native title and traditional ownership. In this subject, students learn how to read visual evidence and explore how art, architecture and artefacts help us understand the past. We trace the cult of personality, explore ways of seeing, and challenge the male and colonial gaze. We consider how art, especially Indigenous Australian art, helps us understand resilience in the face of culture wars. Working with real-world collections, places and objects, students learn to understand art and architecture as a political weapon and assess the implications of cultural and material heritage. This subject is ideally suited to students who wish to expand their cultural knowledge and enrich their experiences of travel, and positions history graduates with important professional and personal skills.Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.
