Description:

Humanities & Social Science Sector. Class of 2010 & beyond. Staff. This course examines the notion of style, the shapes for the arts, and also for how we present our selves and our actions. Pervading every aspect of art and life, the innocent heading "style" enshrines a host of contradictions. Individual freedom versus social constraint, beauty versus function, innovation versus imitation, feminine versus male identity, art versus fashion: ranging from the ancient world to modern America, a team from art history, literature and music show how what is "merely a matter of style" may in fact be a matter of the greatest moment.
