American Art 1860-1940

Art in the United States from 1860 to 1940 with a concentration on painting and sculpture. As new technologies and ideologies transformed the political, economic, and social fabric of the United States after the Civil War, changes in the arts were equally rapid and as dramatic, culminating in the introduction of abstraction after 1900. Some artists sought strategies to connect their work to this new, fast-paced modern world; others held to traditions and resisted change.

S-Workers & Work/the Americas

This seminar introduces students to the study of labor and the working class, broadly defined, from the early 1800s to the present. We will begin by exploring the varied definitions of labor and the working class associated with Marxism, anarchism, and other theoretical traditions. From there we will survey the development of the field of labor history, focusing on the so-called new labor histories of the 1960s and onward,

S-Comparative Memory

The phenomenon of cultures of memory has emerged over the past decade as a subject of serious historical scholarship. The aim of this seminar is to discuss the problem of national memory cultures since the Second World War. We will begin the semester by looking at theories of memory and national identity since 1945. Although the primary thrust of our readings will deal with remembering the Second World War, we will also delve into other areas of remembering.
