  • AAS 5400 - The Black Child



    What does it mean to be a black child in America at the beginning of the 21st century? We will consider how the meaning of childhood changes over time, place, and social context for African Americans. By moving children to the center of focus, we will see that there is no singular definition of African American childhood, but instead many different ways in which African Americans experience childhood and adolescence. Typically African American children are only studied as victims or perpetrators of social problems, but in this course we will consider African American children in many additional contexts. We will begin by examining the meaning(s) of childhood and adolescence and how they have changed over time. Throughout the course we will see how African American children’s lives are shaped by broader systems of inequality. We will also examine how African American children are active in the construction of their own peer cultures and popular culture, as well as why the relationship between Black youth and popular culture is routinely viewed as problematic, and how African American children are discussed within the popular press. Finally, we will examine how public policies shaping African Americans children and adolescents’ lives are formulated and how they sometimes serve to replicate various inequalities.

  • AH 5610 - History of Photography



    Approaches photography as a set of problems and concepts rather than as a unified medium with a linear history. Photography is marked by multiple, often contradictory practices at the nexus of differing discursive and contextual parameters. As a result, the main interest is not only with the photograph as an object of study, but as a modality of thinking and a way of producing new models of visibility. We will investigate the criteria used to identify and discuss photographic images and practices over the century and a half since the inception of processes resulting in photographic material. At the same time, we will ask after the ways in which photographic practices elucidate aspects of the historical context from which they are drawn.

  • AH 5621 - Art and Theory Since 1945



    Looks at the three decades of artistic production in America and Europe after World War II and the Holocaust. It focuses Develop language to discuss, describe, and generate formal analyses of art works.on four main questions: first, how did artists attempt to come to terms with the violent rupture in European civilization caused by the dehumanizing forces of war and genocide? Second, how did artistic production assist in the reconstruction of culture and community? How did they forge a connection to the prewar avant-garde? Third, how did artists attempt to engage the increasing presence of media and advertisement production, what Theodore Adorno referred to as “The Culture Industry,” and George Bataille has discussed under the rubric of “The Marshall Plan,” roughly understood as the “Americanization” of Europe. Last, how does our focused examination of postwar European Art in relationship to post-war American art de-center the art historical narrative that focuses primarily on American art centering on New York? How might our queries suggest a different narrative? Presents a historical approach to the development of art in America, Italy, France, Germany and the Netherlands from the first attempts to represent the atrocities of war to the critique of institutions of power in the ‘60s through to the return of painting as a form of historical reflection in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Does not claim to provide an exhaustive catalogue of every important artistic activity after the war. Rather, specific figures will be examined as case studies of the interrelationship between aesthetic, historical and ideological issues from 1945 on. Finally, introduces the history of contemporary artistic practices from the 1960s to the present, and the major critical and historical accounts of modernism and postmodernism in the arts. Focusing on the interrelationships between modernist culture and the emerging concepts of postmodernism and contemporary art, addresses a wide range of historical and methodological questions. These include the evolving idea of artistic autonomy, the changing role of cultural institutions, the shifting relationship of high art and mass culture, the impact of new technologies on cultural production, and the emergence of new audiences for art.
