Course content
The aim of this course is for students to apply theoretical knowledge by focusing on the embodied experiences of “place”, “location”, and “positioning” as integral to cultural negotiations of history.
Territories, borders, and their transgressions are growing preoccupations, and have created frictions in the domain of cultural production. The “site” (a city, a community, a geo-political entity, the data cloud) has a determining role in shaping how questions are posed, when and which bodies interact, what and how things are done. This course uses theory to explore specific geographic situations and case studies where culture is the arena for ongoing negotiations of power. Students are encouraged to investigate and experience cultural phenomena in public spaces, as well as to engage with storytellers, guides, and keepers of memory.
