HIST 2739 - CITY AS TEXT

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The 'City as Text' seminar focuses on analyzing cities as readable realities that can be interpreted, so as to enable students to appreciate the ways in which cities (the built environment) can be understood as physical and symbolic manifestations of those forces (be they ideological, cultural, political, economic, social or technological) that shaped them and were, in turn, shaped by those forces. Following a series of readings on methodological and conceptual issues, the seminar focuses on case studies from various geographical areas and time periods, although the major focus is on 19th and 20th century cities.
