Subject:

Description:

This seminar will explore urban history from a comparative and theoretical perspective. We will examine, first, the works on European urban history and theory by authors like Walter Benjamin, Henri Lefebvre, and David Harvey, followed by works on urbanism in the United States, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. We will focus on comparative assessments of urban space, planning and the built environment; on socioeconomic structures, ideologies and practices or production, reproduction, and consumption; and on urban politics and culture. Throughout, we will pay special attention to the relationship between the emergence and evolution of capitalism and modern urban life. Priority enrollment for INTS majors, but the course is open to non-INTS juniors and seniors with prior approval from the instructor. 1.00 units, Seminar
