Field Too Large: War, City, System

TOO LARGE: WAR, CITY, SYS

How does one represent things that seem too large, or too complex, to understand?  What rhetorical strategies of compression, exemplification, typification, or visualization do we need to make such events or objects comprehensible?  And what sorts of risks – aesthetic, ethical, political – do we run in trying to do so?  In this course, we’ll move through a number of writers who have grappled with these basic problems of representation, focusing our attention on three particular kinds of excessively large objects: wars, cities, and economic systems.

Objects in this course may include: literature from Caryl Churchill, Teju Cole, Arthur Conan Doyle, Amitav Ghosh, Patricia Highsmith, Homer, Jamaica Kincaid, Edgar Allan Poe, and Virginia Woolf; maps from Charles Joseph Minard and John Snow; criticism and theory from Jane Jacobs, Immanuel Kant, Georg Lukács, Franco Moretti, Georg Simmel, Susan Sontag, and Raymond Williams.  Course costs will not exceed $30.
