  • AH 292: Representing Modern City

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to examining the modern city in both moments of triumph and crisis. The idea of the "city" has played a major role in conceptualizing modernity (as well as Postmodernity). We will look at representations of the metropolis in painting, photography, film and philosophy. Using critical theory, urban planning documents, as well as fictional accounts, we will explore competing ideological perspectives on and debates over the place of the city in modern culture.

  • AH 307: Rhetoric Of The Frame

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    The task of any discussion of frames and framing in the visual arts whether in painting, sculpture, film, performance, architecture, graphic novels and cartoon strips, or digital media - is first and foremost to counter the tendency of framing devices to invisibility with respect to the artwork they supposedly contain. We see the work, but we do not see the frame. It is against this tendency to ignore the frame that this seminar is directed. At first glance the frame may seem to be as unproblematic. Starting from a consideration of the foundational texts of frame theory in the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, we will examine the discursive limits of the material and non-material border in the writings of, among others, Mayer Schapiro, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Claude Lebensztejn, Louis Marin, Craig Owens, and Jacques Derrida.

  • AH 385: Visl Cultr Of Heritage&Idnty

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    Cultural critic Stuart Hall has observed that “Heritage is a discursive practice. It is one of the ways in which the nation slowly constructs for itself a sort of collective social memory.” In this upper level seminar, we will look at case studies of how people (through the collectivities of gender, ethnicity, race, or nation) construct visual narratives about the past. Among the topics for consideration are Holocaust memorials, Native American and Polynesian museums and cultural centers, African American quilt histories, and even individual artists’ projects of the last few decades (Judy Chicago, Fred Wilson, Silvia Gruner, José Bedia, and Jolene Rickard, among others).
