Description

Critical Methodologies of Architectural History reviews the range of methods and approaches open to the architectural historian, critic and theorist, as well as the traditions from which each derives, and the controversies around them. Through a weekly lecture and seminar, students read and discuss works by a variety of architectural historians (e.g., Banham, Burns, Colomina, Deamer, Evans, Giedion and Tafuri) and texts by authors including, Ahmed, Butler, Chakrabarty, Freud, Foucault, Douglas, Hartman, Latour, Mbembe and Spivak on theory of history, aesthetics, materialism, subjectivity and technology. Seminars, readings and discussions also consider issues such as biopolitics, semiology, psychoanalysis and postcolonialsm in relation to architectural history.
