Technologies This course will survey the aesthetics and politics behind three centuries of Russian design, beginning with the semiotics of Lomonosovs glass, zooming in on the avant gardes furniture and textile designs, visiting Soviet records and rockets, kitchens and kitsch, and ending with Putins oil soaked baroque. In the process we will ponder the following questions: How are material goods, and specifically technologies, deployed on behalf of a political agenda? Are tools value neutral or invested with the values of the societies that create them? How does the past manifest itself through material and visual culture? What makes technologies artful or art technological? Taught in English.

3 hours This seminar will focus on the postwar period of African decolonization. Our guiding question will be whether the category we now call global contemporary art can be said both to have given rise to and be born of the contradictions of the anticolonial revolutions in the same way that European modern art is understood to have triggered and expressed the contradictions introduced by the French revolution. If 1789 launched the conflicts between the citoyen and the comrade, the bourgeois, the bohemian and the proletarian, what defining conflicts did 1960the so-called Year of Africaintroduce for our own time?

Landscapes of the Anthropocene Art, Heritage, and Politics in a Changing Climate Description: This graduate seminar will engage recent debates on climate change, the global ecological crisis and the new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene. Particular attention will be paid to the newly emerging fields of environmental humanities, political ecology, and posthumanism. How are artists, historians and others in the humanities responding to the new climate regime and the urgent need to decolonize the planet? What can humanities do for world communities in their struggles for climate and heritage justice against extractive economies of late capitalism? What are some of the difficult questions raised about the entrenched Western concepts of growth, progress, freedom, humanism, and anthropocentrism?

Sentimentality According to Shirley Samuels, sentimentality is a set of cultural practices designed to evoke a certain form of emotional responses, usually empathy, in the reader or viewer, sentimentality produces or reproduces spectacles that cross race, class, and gender boundaries. In this seminar we will evaluate the art production of sentimentalism and the ways that it influenced nation building in the Americas, from the conquest of Mexico to the twentieth century. By centering the subjectivity and depiction of Indigenous people in art and literature, we will address issues of class, race, and gender and the formation of the nation. Human feelings and the cultural productions attached to them will always be at the center of this evaluation and critical analysis.
