Priya Maholay-Jaradi and Roger Nelson Regional Worlding: Art History’s Pedagogies in Singapore
To what extent are Southeast Asia’s art histories engaged, active, and consequently, worlded in such a way as to facilitate alterity? How might worlding in this context be related to a regional turn in Southeast Asia? In this chapter, we address these and related questions by introducing a collaborative project which examines some ways in which Southeast Asia’s art histories are studied and taught in Singapore, the city-state that is often discussed as being (or aspiring to be) a key centre of the region, and of scholarship on the region. Concurrently, we explore how other art histories — including those of other Asias and of the West — are studied and taught here. We hypothesize that the pedagogical strategies which develop around Southeast Asia’s art histories not only support worlding at various levels, but may also bear an inherent capacity to alter the field.
