Course Description
This course explores the cultural relationship between museums and identity in London. Long recognized as important sites for reinforcing social, political, and national identities, museums have undergone significant changes since the first public museum opened two hundred years ago. The course draws on the rich resources of London such as the British Museum, National Gallery, Imperial War Museum, Tate Britain, and the Museum of London to consider the role of these institutions both in the past and in the present. Far more than storehouses preserving Britain's cultural heritage, museums can now also be agents of social change, providing a place where identities can be explored, challenged, and reconsidered. How are museums meeting the challenges of a more dynamic global city? This course takes a multidisciplinary approach, engaging with current debates within art, politics, and social sciences.

Course Description
This course examines some of the wealth of artistic production in the Netherlands in the 17th century. The course is based around the study of Rembrandt and Vermeer as contrasting and complementary figures who represent some of the diverse tendencies of the time. This entails the study of the development of individual styles and subject matter ranging from history painting to portraiture, landscape, and genre painting. The distinct artistic character associated with centers of production, even ones that were geographically close, is assessed with an emphasis on Amsterdam, Delft, and Utrecht. The final block of the course looks at the posthumous reputations of Rembrandt and Vermeer, examining questions of attribution, authenticity, canonicity, and rediscovery.

Course Description
This seminar is an initial foray into planning an exhibition that aims to trace the history of the Art of Memory which gave birth to the field of museology. The course adopts a global perspective. Beside the medieval and early modern European inheritance of Greco-Roman mnemotechnics, some other weekly topics of discussion include: papermaking, writing, and memory in Han Dynasty China; memorization, contemplation, and revelation in Tibetan Thangka images; repetition and recognition in Islamic calligraphy and geometric ornament; ethnic memory, cultural identity, and the emergence of ethnology. The course also examines some modern memories, e.g., Bergson's MATTER AND MEMORY; Philip K. Dick's DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?; Nabokov's autobiographical SPEAK, MEMORY; Joseph Beuys's false memories, Gordon Matta-Clark's displaced fragments of memories; and artistic utterance as cultural oracle in the immortalizing prose-poem sculptures of Jenny Holzer. The basic question that the seminar addresses is: How does one go about curating an exhibition that displays the art and architecture of memory and its place in the human imagination?
