Explores the interrelations of modernism and politics from 1880-1945, a period of rapid social and technological change that saw the rise of mass social movements, with political reaction on both left and right: from anarchism, to socialism, republicanism, and fascism; new media in the form of prints, photography and film reflect these changes, as do radical developments in painting and sculpture. Considers how artists expressed dissent from the status quo in response to a variety of social and cultural movements and political positions through a large range of media, styles, subjects, and exhibition venues addressed to a variety of audiences.

In her seminal essay ÂDeviance as Resistance, political scientist Cathy Cohen writes, ÂI continue to be interested in the possibility of constructing a field of investigation based in African American Studies and borrowing from queer theory and Black feminist analysis that is centered around the experiences of those who stand on the ~outside of state sanctioned, normalized White, middle- and upperclass, male heterosexuality. Substituting CohenÂs ÂAfrican-American Studies with ÂHip-Hop, the goal of ÂQueering Hip-Hop is to examine Hip-Hop Culture and Rap Music through the lens of black queer and black feminist analysis with a particular focus on iterations of Hip-Hop that challenge mainstream perceptions of Âwho and what hip-hop is. As such ÂQueering Hip-Hop is an attempt to do just thatÂrender the Âofficial history of hip-hop as Âstrange and ÂoppositionalÂ

This course considers the global Chinese city as an object of cultural representation, as well as an engine of cultural representation. We will look at a variety of literary and cinematic texts, with an emphasis on themes of modernization, alienation, nostalgia, migration, labor, and processes of commoditization. Through a detailed examination of cultural representations of ÂChinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, and New York, we will attempt to rethink the very notion of Chineseness within an increasingly globalized world.

This will be a course on theory and methodology within the context of three general rubrics: 1) mode of production, or industry 2) apparatus, or the technology of cinematic experience and 3) text, or the network of filmic systems (narrative, image, sound), we will work through and examine a set of concepts (star, spectator, narrative, filmic statement and enunciation, the gaze, suture, sexual and racial difference) that have emerged over the past decades as the most powerful interpretive tools available to the practice of film analysis. Our emphasis will be less on the appreciation of film, but rather on clarifying what is at stake in the act of critical reading.

This course explores the theories and practices of Visual Studies. We will examine and discuss a wide range of approaches to the creation and interpretation of visual experience in everyday life, which is filled with a constant flow of images on billboards, TVs, subways, and buses; and in magazines, newspapers, emails, and airport terminals. This fast-paced production of images has revolutionized communication. The class will consider the many ways that art historians and cultural critics have examined and described visual art, photography and film, fashion and everyday objects, as well as how the visual is used in the social sciences and sciences. Students will learn how Visual Studies has contributed to shaping the concepts, values, and meanings that constitute cultural life in a diverse range of societies; how to extrapolate methods and theories of visual culture from applied research; and how to develop the skills necessary to think productively and write effectively about the meaning of images and the visual world.

This is a cross-disciplinary art history-economics seminar. It offers an analytical, applied, and historical exploration of cultural production and how reception, fashion, and price are related to local markets. Attention is not only paid to the behaviors of producer and dealers, but also to consumers. Theoretical issues will include how and why imagery is valued, the nature of "fancy" or what makes goods desirable and fashionable in a specific point in time. Empirical applications will also draw from studies that challenge the notion that art is exceptional. Historical studies will be examined showing how art markets have evolved from the 16th and 17th century Netherlands, to 18th century England, and 17th-19th century France. We will further reassess lesser known aspects of how dealers intervened personally in the large-scale production and export of Netherlandish paintings to Spain and the Americas (Brazil, Nueva Espana/Mexico), influenced artist's representational strategies based on local audience response(s), and even controlled workshop processes in timely, particular, and specific terms. Though critical discussions ranging from taste formation, consumer behavior to the role of dealers as cultural negotiants (not commonly part of any art historical discussion), one may find in this seminar many ingredients for a lively discussion and a creative exploration of visual culture in the early modern period.
