Course Content

Focusing on the time period since the late nineteenth century, this course aims to familiarize students with the dialougues, interchanges as well as dissents between the disciplines of art, architecture, and cinema. With an interdisciplinary emphasis, we will explore various intersections between art, architecture, and cinema by studying several topics around which the conversations among the theories and practices of these disciplines especially intensified. We will consider how these key terms, themes, concepts, and preoccupations that gave way to spirited dialogues among disciplines-including modernities and modernisms, attractions, slapstick, design pedagogy,window, montage, apparatus theory, site-specificity, archiveology and the city, modernitys ruins, institutional critique, and tensions between the white cube and the black box-have been inflected by historical, social and cultural distinctions as well as expansions.
