CTYP 206 - Writing the City:Visual and Literary Representations of Urban Life

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Drawing upon works of imaginative literature, the visual arts, film, and popular culture, this course will examine representations of urban life from the 16th century to the present. The approach of the course will be both comparative, drawing upon works from a variety of cultural and historical settings, and thematic, considering such issues as the city and immigrants, urban life and work(ers), cities and production of culture, and utopian and dystopian visions of urban life. We will be primarily concerned with exploring the ways in which urban life shapes, and is shaped by, these cultural representations. Only students in The Cities Program are allowed to enroll in this course. 1.00 units, Seminar
