THE CITY: THINKING WITH THE URBAN BUILT

This experiential learning course provides an introduction to the organization and design of the urban built environment. What kinds of spaces make up the city, how are they formed, and what impact do they have on people’s lives? We will consider these key questions of urban design and the distinct answers that have arisen in different historical and geographical contexts, with reference to a global array of case studies. And we will use the built environment of New York City as our classroom, with weekly field trips to iconic (and iconoclastic) examples of urban form, including sites from all five boroughs that reflect a diversity of cultural milieux. Through this comparative approach, the class will challenge the naïve view that the built environment is neutral or inert, emphasizing instead the inherent politics of urban design and the ongoing transformation and contestation of urban space. To arrive at this understanding, students will learn to think with the city, acquiring tools for understanding, representing, and analyzing the urban built environment.

The class is organized morphologically into six modules: image, park, plaza, street, block, and arcade. During each unit, students will also be introduced to a specific technique for analyzing urban form: figure-ground, collage, plan, diagram, map, projection, and section. The main assignments ask students to deploy these techniques to compare the urban spaces we encounter in the city.

True Crime

Over the centuries, readers have been drawn to accounts of “true” crime—violent narratives involving real people and real events. And yet, as with any literary object, the notion of “truth” is always unstable—stories and their tellings are always shaped by the motivations, values, and choices of those who tell them, often with an eye toward the audience that will consume them. Whether constructed in order to moralize, to enforce or critique social or political ideologies, or purely to sell copies, “true
crime” is a literary genre that reveals attitudes about gender, race, and class; that illustrates—and sometimes calls into question—cultural norms and mores; that calls on readers to reflect on their own morbid curiosity and assumptions and fears. In this class we will engage with a diverse selection of literary texts—spanning from the Middle Ages to the present day and from a range of genres, including pamphlets, plays, novels, and more—as well as contemporary films, a tv series, and a
podcast. Through close reading and critical analysis, we will examine the evolution of the “true crime” genre and the cultural and societal contexts that shape the portrayal of crime for popular consumption. We will explore the ways in which texts and authors sensationalize, moralize, and convey the complexities of crime. We will analyze point of view: who’s telling the story, whom we sympathize with, and what insights we get into the minds of those committing crimes as well as those who fall prey to them. We will consider justice and policing— the role played by the law and its enforcers in shaping narratives about crime and punishment, right and wrong. Finally, we will reflect on the ethical implications of representing real-life crimes in literature, and how “true crime” narratives shape social perceptions, fears, prejudices, and notions of justice and morality.

Love Your Enemies?

We all have enemies, individual and collective, private and public, ephemeral or persistent. This seems increasingly true. But do we choose our enemies or do our enemies choose us? Do we invent the enemy? Is the enemy a “social construction,” a fiction or is the enemy a “fact”? Do we need to believe in the enemy or is it better to know the enemy? And once there are enemies, is it really possible to love them? All enemies? Is that a religious commandment? Does religion have a special relationship to enemies? And what about frenemies? This course will explore different kinds of enemies such as they appear in sacred texts (the Bible, the Qur’ān), novels, films and
popular culture. And yes, we will try to learn whether we can love our enemies.
