Course in PSPSR curriculum 2021
Anthropology generally studies art and local culture in a specific/unique way, while sociology emphasizes the general characteristics of symptoms, processes, interactions, structures, organizations, and social changes in urban society. Along with global dynamics, power structures, transnationalism and increasingly massive digitalization, knowledge formation is also becoming more dynamic and complementary, so that the material and formal objects, from the theoretical and methodological side of these two disciplines, are getting closer—no exception to the study of art.
This course discusses the phenomenon of the existence of performing arts and fine arts of the past based on archaeological data sources from various periods in Indonesia, namely the prehistoric period, the Hindu-Buddhist cultural period, the Islamic period, and the colonial period in Indonesia. Archaeological and historical data that can be used as sources of discussion are verbal, in the form of various ancient inscriptions and ancient books, and pictorial, in the form of pictures or reliefs found in prehistoric cave remains, temple buildings, mosque buildings, and literary manuscripts.
The position of Art Studies (Performance & Visual Arts) in the realm of knowledge is not/has not yet reached the level of social sciences and humanities; even ‘art’ is sometimes distinguished and contrasted with science. On the other hand, since the end of the 20th century, the development of science has been marked by the blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines, between theory and practice. The blurring of boundaries also takes place in the realm of artistic practice. In such a situation, it is necessary to map and recognize the scientific character of art studies to develop the inter-relationship between art studies and other scientific disciplines.
Institutions and Events for Performing Arts and Visual Arts have a dynamic character. Executing it requires management that aligns with the purpose of the art institution and event being held, the individuals who are related and involved in it, and the infrastructure supporting the existence and sustainability of the art institution and event.
Since the second half of the 20th century, academic discourse about art has undergone a paradigmatic shift towards art performance. The focus of art studies shifted from identifying the form and meaning contained in art to the analysis of how the performance of art influences the public. The shift finally gave birth to Performance studies, which cover various art genres, are multi/interdisciplinary, and demand the application of different methodological strategies. Although performance studies initially grew in the realm of performance art, in its development, the perspective of performance has been widely applied to the realm of fine arts and even to the realm of non-arts.
This course will examine the meaning of art, religion, and their relationship. These concepts have a construction history that influences each other, further articulating the existence and meaning of art about religion and/or vice versa. In this context, the two elements enrich each other, even if they are combined, but on the other hand, sometimes they contradict each other. The various relationships will also be examined to find their rationalization. In addition, this course will also interact directly with both religious and religious communities to see the experience and appreciation of these two elements. This course aims for this class not only to be a scientific discussion forum to critically understand related problems (the relationship between art and religion) but also as a contributory discussion and solution.
This course introduces students to the cultural cycle and the elements that can be involved in it. In the cultural cycle, all the processes required in the production and dissemination of cultural expression are explained in line with its acceptance, use and understanding. In the cycle, whose phases are interrelated, many stakeholders (creators, producers, distributors, public institutions, professional organizations, etc.) are involved and have policies for achieving goals related to cultural expression activities. This course focuses on the policies of public institutions (national policies) associated with the cultural and artistic ecosystem at the local, national and global levels and highlights them critically and comprehensively.
Art cannot be separated from tourism. As part of culture, art will not be separated from those involved in tourism, both tourists (guests) and local communities (hosts). Tourists travel to see and feel/experience ‘other’ art, and local communities attract tourists’ attention with their art exhibitions. Artistic works and expressions become part of tourist attractions, ranging from music, visual arts, dance, and shows to culinary. For tourism, art brings: “style, culture, beauty, and a sense of continuity of living” (Zeppel & Hall, in Smith 2009: 121).
This course explores the nature of art and education philosophically, sociologically, politically, culturally, economically, and technologically. Through this course, students are expected to be able to develop the scientific concept of art and education through limited discussion methods, article studies, book reviews, and experiential studies. Specifically, emphasis will be placed on the relationship between art and education that is contextual and multicultural, including community education.
Art is not just an expression of beauty. All aspects of human life, such as memory of the past, religion, ecology, education, ideology, economy, technology, power and politics, are related to artistic expression. On the one hand, art can be a means of emancipation (activism). On the other hand, it can be a tool of political hegemony and power (capitalism) spread across many media and categories. This course invites students to be more critical and sensitive in seeing art’s potential and political expression in the local and global realms.
Art is present in material that is sensed – never a mere idea. The sensed material approaches the public and encourages impressions, interpretations, and reactions to the sensory experience (aesthesis, Yun). This course provides an understanding of aesthetics as a sensory experience of the art phenomenon. It gives a sense of various aesthetic theories from classical and modern, among them issues of beauty, imitation, expression, empathy, intuition, communication, etc. Local aesthetic concepts from Indonesia were also observed as a basis for the study of the aesthetic approach.

Research is the backbone of scientific disciplines, so research knowledge can be interpreted as an effort to gain new understanding by asking questions, collecting data, and analyzing. This lecture will give more attention to understanding various research methods and data collection. Also explained is the difference between quantitative research and qualitative research, as well as multiple data that can be used as research sources, namely oral data, written data, artefact data, historical building data, data in the form of recordings, and data that can be accessed via the internet.
This course invites students to interpret the world as a visual domain. Unbeknownst to us, the environment around us is surrounded by visual things, such as smartphone screens in our hands, photo albums and televisions in the family room, billboards on the streets, product displays in stores, cinemas in shopping malls and so on. Likewise, in the academic world, we have long been familiar with various terms that refer to the dimension of visuality, such as ‘politics of representation,’ ‘male gaze,’ ‘simulacra,’ ‘spectator society,’ and so on. It could be excessive if it were said that visual culture escaped the attention of media and culture studies that are developing rapidly, considering that philosophers and thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, Jacques Lacan, and Michel Foucault paid attention to visual issues.
The discussion about music is no longer limited to musical grammar or intrinsic music. However, it has accommodated various concepts and knowledge from various cultural regions.
