This course explores landscape sites, systems, and symbols from the early 19th century until the present moment, stressing the intersections and entanglements of people and place in history with current politics, experiences, and ecologies. Through creative “lab” exercises, diverse media, and collaborative processes, we will critically examine the writing, production, and performance of landscape and its histories thematically through the diverse lenses of: power and ownership; memory and representation; knowledge and experience; labor and production; materiality and technological innovation; climate disruption and social change; identity and emotion; and race, class, and gender.
