COLT 1812R - The Baroque Mediterranean

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Investigates the absense of the South-Eastern Mediterranean as a geocultural space from classic and contemporary theorizations of the (neo)baroque and will experiment with formulating a theory of the Mediterranean baroque. The main issue in focus will be the cultures produced by the intermittent and overlapping French and Italian rule over Greek, Turkish, and Arabic-speaking territories in the later Renaissance and early modern periods and the modernization of that rule in the 19th and 20th centuries. The course is designed as an inquiry and will be based on the students' joint contributions and insights. Open to concentrators in Comparative Literature, French, Hispanic Studies, History of Art and Architecture, Italian, Literary Arts, Medieval Studies, Middle East Studies, Renaissance and Early Modern Studies.
