  • VIS 421: Advanced Sculpture

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    Through field research and studio work, this course will interrogate the "negative" idea of contemporary sculpture. Where bright lines still exist to delineate paintings and photographs and video from each other, contemporary sculpture is tacitly defined as everything else, as anything that is "not painting", "not photography", or "not film". This course will approach sculpture positively and revel in the persistent allure of all things massive, from freestanding letterforms and roadside attractions to panic rooms and regional cuisine. Of all the visual arts, only sculpture can address our existence in the material world on its own terms.

  • VIS 444: Cinema and the Related Arts

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    Cinema has learned a great deal from modern literature, but literature owes even more to cinema. This course will consider a range of narrative films that reflect on the process of storytelling itself, each creating the effect of a labyrinth or mirror regression. The main focus will be the analysis of framing, editing, and dream sequences in avant-garde (Deren, Frampton), feminist (Akerman, Denis), psychological (Hitchcock, Cronenberg) or self-reflexive (Shutter Island) films. Readings will explore the metaphysics of narrative (Borges), fundamental film analysis (Propp), and recent developments in the theory of narrative (Zizek, Bellour).

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits

Students will experiment with the effects of applied paint and color on paper, three dimensional forms, material fragments, and walls. A variety of application techniques will also be explored. The class will pay particular attention to the idea of paint and color as tangible objects with spatial properties.

  • VIS 472: Special Topics in Visual Arts - Video Installation

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    What does it mean when moving images stray from their usual points of reception: the big screen, the small screen, the computer screen? When moving images meet gallery walls or the street, places we don't normally expect to see them? How do moving images change in different contexts, and how should they adapt themselves to these new conditions? This course will explore the physical and social impact of moving images through projection, displacement, and other strategies of recontextualization.

  • WOM 201: Introduction to the Study of Gender

    0.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Princeton University

    What exactly is gender? Is it just the contemporary name we give to sex? Or does it mean something different? How are ideas about sexuality and race implicated in our understanding of gender? This course will consider gender both as an object of study and an analytical category through which we read other cultural practices. We will explore some of the important themes and debates centrally concerned with the question of gender over the past hundred years, including feminist history, pornography and sexual freedom, gender and technology, and the politics of the veil.
