Write your response to 1 question from each category in a Word document, and then upload your file below. Category 1 (select 1 question) 1. Religion and the Arts Ethologist Ellen Dissanayake believes that the arts (music, dance, painting, sculpture, architecture) were a necessary part of ancient religious rituals because the arts provided a way of bonding with others, including deity—a bonding that was important in alleviating stress during times of uncertainty. Give 1 detailed example from the Hindu religion that exemplifies Dissanayake’s premise. Then, provide 1 detailed example from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that exemplifies this principle. For your conclusion, why do you think the arts are able to provide this kind of bonding for devotees during times of uncertainty? 2. Similarities and Differences with Hinduism Considering Hinduism, describe in detail at least 2 examples of similarities between the religious narratives, arts, or beliefs practiced by Hindus and those practiced by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (2 Hindu examples and 2 examples from our Church). For your conclusion, what has your study of the arts and religious beliefs of Hinduism taught you about your own religion? 3.

Give a detailed explanation. (2) In terms of scholarly substance, what did you learn by writing the paper? Give a detailed explanation. For your conclusion, how might conducting scholarly research relate to the Savior’s admonition to make righteous judgments? 6. STEM and the Humanities In modern American culture, we tend to separate the study of STEM and the study of the humanities, with students from both disciplinary cultures often looking condescendingly on the work done by students from the other disciplinary orientation. Professor Ruhul Kuddus and Professor Debanjan Bhattacharjee represent a very different understanding about the relationships between STEM and the humanities. Briefly describe their backgrounds in their professions and their dedication to their art forms of poetry and music, respectively. For your conclusion, what is it about South Asian cultures that encourages such profound connections between the humanities and STEM? 7. Women in South Asian Art Consider 2 of the following: (1) the prominent place of female gods in early Dravidian (pre-Aryan) culture, represented by statues from the Indus Valley period; (2) the role of Durga as a savior figure, etched in stone at Mamallapuram; (3) the ralli quilts, including their visual patterns that date back to the Indus Valley civilization; and (4) the female artists who dominate the visual arts in modern India.

For your conclusion, is there something unique about the visual arts that enables creative expression by and for women? 8. Abida Parveen and Lata Mangeshkar Compare and contrast the voices and bodies of the gynandrous Abida Parveen and the hyper-feminine-sounding Lata Mangeshkar. In making your comparison, consider the historical reasons for banning (or at least covering up) female bodies in traditional performances, the modern role of technology as a way of freeing and encouraging female expression for women (of all ages and backgrounds), and the way modern-day performances for both women function as a kind of corrective. 9. Orality and Musicality in Hindustani Classical Music From what you have learned about the oral tradition in Hindustani classical music from the Ruckert readings, the Zuckerman videos, and Dr. Bhattacharjee’s video about his guru, describe how the guru-shishya parampara is fundamental to the ongoing tradition of Hindustani classical music. For your conclusion, what makes Hindustani classical music unique? 10.

What is each genre correcting against? For your conclusion, what is the role of art-as-corrective in South Asia? Category 3 (select 1 question) 11. Cultural Role for the Little Traditions In the course, we learned how the little traditions are threatened by digital media and film, which lure audiences away from traditional performances. Should we care if the little traditions are endangered in South Asia? What happens to a society if we lose a folk tradition—especially for those who are nonliterate? Give detailed examples from the course materials to support your claim. For your conclusion, should we consider protecting vulnerable artistic traditions the way we protect vulnerable species in ecosystems? If so, why? If not, why not? 12.

Give a detailed example of a South Asian adaptation that has been successful and explain why it was successful. How has Shakespeare been enfolded into Hindu culture?

Be specific and provide plenty of detail in your answer. In terms of your current situation, how might you apply what you have learned from contemplating this question to various aspects of your life?

If not, why not? For your conclusion, do Americans have any comparable forms of escapist fare? If so, what are they? If not, why not? Category 4 I always want to improve my courses.
