... take an interest in urban imaginaries, gendered/racialized/classed spaces, reappropriating and (re-)claiming urban spaces, and street/urban art.
... would like to know more about discussions and controversies surrounding the use of urban sites and the way they are presented online.
... enjoy thinking about the impact the built environment has on our everyday life.The main methods are in-class discussions (primarily based on readings, written assignments and research tasks) in which important concepts are clarified and applied to cultural texts. At the end of the term, students will hand in a portfolio containing the texts they produced throughout the semester, a course reflection, a (collaborative) creative task and a mini case study on a cultural artefact/space of their choice.
After completing this course, students will be able to discuss the city-countryside/public-private dichotomy and apply their knowledge of important spatial/cultural theories and methods to critically analyze representations in and of urban spaces.
