Description: This course will study the central role of Paris—as place, instigator, and site of contestation—in the development of modern art, film, and architecture since 1870. Working through a selection of key films, works of art, built structures, and cultural debates, we will explore defining issues in the development of modern culture by utilizing the city of Paris as our primary focus and site of inquiry. The seminar will be split between classroom sessions in which readings and central themes will be discussed and subsequent visits to museums, neighborhoods, architectural sites, and artists’ studios. The class will consist of three primary sections, organized chronologically. We will begin with “Industrial Modernity and the Rise of the Modern City”; next will be “Avant-Gardes in the Shadow of War”; closing the course will be “Colonial Reckonings.” These three sections will span diverse topics across 150 years of modern European culture, united by their common unfolding in the streets of the French capital. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for HART 327 if student has credit for HART 627.
