HART 670: MAPPING PLACES IN TIME
Spring 2026 · Section 001 · CRN 24417
This course will focus on the evolution of urban form, or the art of living together, in light of existing and emerging communication and representation tools and techniques that make it possible to represent change over time and space. These same tools and techniques prompt a new range of art-historical and cultural questions that bring up new disciplinary questions to be covered during the semester: What does it mean to visualize a city, a site, or an event and their cultural record? Why should we look at changing spaces over time to understand art history? How does the development of larger typologies of historical and visual evidence help us think through cultural questions? Can we use an analysis of historical and contemporary viewership to understand both real and imagined spatial ideologies in art history and visual culture? Graduate students will be required to complete an additional assignment equivalent to an analytical 20 page paper. Cross-list: HART 450. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for HART 670 if student has credit for HART 450/HART 470.
