Course Objectives
This course aims to introduce students to interdisciplinary thinking by encouraging them to critically analyze the dialogues, interchanges, as well as dissents between the disciplines of art, architecture, and cinema.
Course Content
Focusing on the time period since the late nineteenth century, this course aims to familiarize students with the dialougues, interchanges as well as dissents between the disciplines of art, architecture, and cinema. With an interdisciplinary emphasis, we will explore various intersections between art, architecture, and cinema by studying several topics around which the conversations among the theories and practices of these disciplines especially intensified. We will consider how these key terms, themes, concepts, and preoccupations that gave way to spirited dialogues among disciplines-including modernities and modernisms, attractions, slapstick, design pedagogy,window, montage, apparatus theory, site-specificity, archiveology and the city, modernitys ruins, institutional critique, and tensions between the white cube and the black box-have been inflected by historical, social and cultural distinctions as well as expansions.
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course the successful students are expected to:
CLO_1: Understand different approaches to interdisciplinarity
CLO_2: Obtain a critical perspective into some of the motivations, resistances, and questions that scholars encounter as they attempt to shift and broaden modern disciplinary boundaries
CLO_3: Obtain knowledge of a variety of approaches and methodologies to analyze various intersections between art, architecture, and cinema
CLO_4: Understand the historical, social, and cultural distinctions as well as expansions at work in the different intersections between art, architecture, and cinema
