For the last two centuries, one could argue that it is the Franco-Algerian relationship that has been decisive in the construction of modern France. From the colonial conquest in the early 19th century through independence in 1962, Algeria has evoked passions on both sides of the Mediterranean Sea, passions frequently resulting in violence that has not entirely subsided. Memory of a conflictual present and past has required continual mediation among involved actors.

Topics course. The 19th-century Middle East witnessed a flourishing of strange and hybrid architecture and visual culture that blended local traditions with global trends. As local empires waned, European forces spread new models of elite culture. How did art of the 19th-century Middle East respond to shifts in political, social and cultural power? How do we define hybridity in art and can we break it free from Orientalist paradigms?

Topics course. Since its inception, photography has been discussed as a medium uniquely tethered to reality. This course examines the theoretical underpinnings of this link alongside case studies that apply pressure to this assumption. Using the tropes of imaging and imagining, we track the following questions: What motivates the desire to make and view images that typically reside outside of a normative field of vision? What are the implications of "giving visibility" by appealing to notions of photographic truth?
