American Monument Cultures

AMERICAN MONUMENT CULTURE

Cities, institutions, and impassioned individuals are pulling down statues of people implicated in the histories of slavery, colonization and violence.  This class explores why monuments are important, how they have been used historically to assert political and social power and different points of view on where to go from here.  The nation is caught up in a vital debate about how historical figures and events should be recorded in the public square.  Spurred by protests in Charlottesville, VA in the summer of 2017 and moved forward during the uprisings against police brutality in the summer of 2020, cities, institutions and impassioned individuals are pulling down and removing statues of Confederate leaders and other individuals implicated in the histories of slavery, colonization and violence even as objections are raised to these actions from both the left and the right.  This activism led to the formation of a commission to study New York City’s built environment in fall 2017 and its resolution advocating both taking down and putting up monuments here. Why are Monuments so important?  How have they been used historically to assert political and social power?  This course introduces the history of monument culture in the United States, focusing on monuments related to three controversial subjects:  the Vietnam War, the Confederacy, and the “discovery” of America.  We will study when, by whom, and in what form these monuments were erected and how artists and audiences of the past and present have responded to them.  In addition to gaining historical background, students will engage in a digital project exploring the history and impact of monuments in a city or town with which they are familiar. Class meetings will combine lecture and discussion and will feature guest speakers most weeks.  To accommodate the online platform, each class will be broken into several units and will include both a break and short periods of independent or small group work.   In addition, students must complete online modules on conducting local research, podcasting, storymapsjs and timelines.

ADVANCED LITERARY TIBETAN

This two-semester online class is designed to assist students who already have the equivalent of at least two-years of Classical Tibetan language study. The course is intended to build on this foundation so that students gain greater proficiency in reading a variety of classical Tibetan writing styles and genres, including texts relevant to their research. The course readings will focus primarily on texts written during the Ganden Phodrang period up through the 19th century. Over the two semesters, the class will cover three sets of materials: 1) famous or otherwise influential classical works (mostly historical, some literary); 2) important historical texts that have come to light in recent years but are scarcely known in western scholarship; and 3) classical language texts that support the research needs of the enrolled students. Classical Tibetan grammar and other conventions will be identified and discussed in the course of the readings. *Please see syllabus for more details, including readings and revised class time: Mondays and Fridays, 8am-9:50am.

This course is an interdisciplinary exploration of the precolonial history of the African continent. It investigates in-depth the political, social, cultural and economic developments of different Africa communities, covering various regions and periods, from prehistory to the formation of the Indian Ocean and Atlantic worlds. Its focus is the intersection of politics, economics, culture and society. Using world history and Africa’s location in the production of history as key analytical frames, it pays special attention to social, political and cultural changes that shaped the various individual and collective experiences of African peoples and states and the historical discourses associated to them.

Grimms' Fairy Tales: Power, Gender & Nar

Although the first volume of the
Grimms’ Children Stories and Household Tales
was published more than 200 years ago, their fairy tales continue to enchant readers. In this course we will not only study the Grimms’ fairy tales themselves, but also examine their origins and their social, ideological, and political contexts in 19th-century Europe. We will work with fairy tale theory (narrative, psychoanalytic, historical) and discuss the function of the tales as folklore as well as their status as children’s literature. Alongside the “original” Grimms’ tales—a concept that we will discuss—a major portion of the course will engage the legacy of the fairy tales and the way they have been appropriated by others, particularly from a critical, feminist perspective. Points of emphasis will include: how writers in the first half of the 20th century politicized the tales in the battle for social change during the time of the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany; how the tales were reinterpreted in different national traditions and historical periods; how the fairy tale become a mass culture icon in Disney’s film versions; and how contemporary writers like Margaret Atwood continue to employ tales in questioning and challenging traditional constructions of gender.

GLOBAL LONG-FORM PHOTOGRAPHY: HISTORY AN

In this course, we ask - how photography, arguably the artistic medium most tied to the present -  can be used to explore the past. How have photographers from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas explored inherited personal and familial legacies? Moving beyond the personal, how have practitioners used the photo essay to explore collective memory? How have they reinterpreted national narratives about dictatorship, war, state-sponsored violence, and environmental destruction? We will be looking at photography as an epistemology. That is – asking how are life's big questions addressed through the medium? Students will view book-length photographic essays produced by some of the world's most respected photographers. Critically, many of those will be outside the North American photographic canon. Photographers include, An My Le,  Fazal Sheik, Paula Luttringer,  Yael Martinez, Joshua Lutz, Rena Effendi, Rebecca Norris Webb, Kikuji Kawada, Chloe Dewey Mathews, Sophie Ristelhueber, Marcos Adandia, Myako Isiuchi, and others. Critical readings in photography and memory will augment viewings of their works. Over the course of the term, students will develop and deliver their own in-depth photographic essay on a subject of their choice that the instructor has approved. Each student will have two peer critiques of their project.  We will explore subject matter, editing, and how testimony and archive are used to give a more contextual reading to long-form photography. This is a demanding seminar/studio class. Students are expected to be making photographic work throughout the semester. Response papers are due weekly, and students must participate in discussions and critiques of each other's works.   Over the course of the term, students will develop and deliver an in-depth photographic essay on a subject of their choice that has been approved by the instructor. We will explore subject matter, editing and ways in which testimony and archive can be used to give a more contextual reading to long form photography. We will study photography as an epistemology in and of itself – that is we will look at long-form photography by the study and critique of photographic essays and photographic monographs. Critically we will be looking beyond the North American photographic canon to view the works of global image-makers. Some of the photographers whose in-depth work we will be exploring are:  An My Le; Lu Guang; Paula Luttringer; Ori Gherst; Rula Halawani; Luis Gon

The Age of Augustus

The reign of the first Roman emperor, Augustus (27bce-14ce), has been seen as a Roman revolution, both political and cultural. Rome had for centuries been governed as a Republic, but a series of increasingly divisive civil wars allowed Augustus to create a new political system in which he exercised sole rule as the ‘first citizen’ within a ‘Restored Republic’. Augustus’ reign lasted more than 40 years, and established a model of autocratic rule that would last for four centuries. During this time there were profound changes in the political, social, and cultural structures of Rome. In this course, you will examine the nature of these changes, Augustus’ political strategies, military activities, and religious initiatives through his own writing, the accounts of (often hostile) historians and a range of literary and archaeological sources, including Roman poetry. Ultimately, we will address the question: how did Augustus achieve the seemingly paradoxical feat of becoming a monarch within a republican system?
