South Asian Art History Since the 1990s

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article examines the trends found in South Asian art history since the 1990s.
Based on a bibliography of South Asian art history compiled in 2003, it introduces the
scope of South Asian art history from 1993 to 1998. Following a brief discussion of the
formation of art history during the colonial period, it also aims to explain the limits
inherent in the discipline. As a discipline seeking to fulfill a role within empirical
history, art history has been utilized as a powerful tool in creating modernity, especially
within the colonial context. However, recent trends in South Asian art history display
new approaches. Firstly, we can find the enthusiastic embracing of multi‐disciplinary or
interdisciplinary studies, including the adaptation of theories advanced in anthropology,
ethnography, history, and literature. Secondly, subject matters that have been ignored
within the traditional narrative of art history have been gathering more interest. Lastly,
an interest in the modern and contemporary, which also leads to the subject of
identity, has been arising in recent studies of South Asian art history. These trends
reflect a broadening of topics in both period and media, as well as approaches within the discipline.
