SPAN 1302
FWS:Objects of Culture

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

What is an object?  How do we perceive, relate to, renounce objects?  What makes somethings into a thing, what individualizes it, sets it apart, cultivates it? How do we circulate and exchange "stuff"?  These questions about objects and the cultures around them will be addressed through a variety of perspectives, looking at relics, icons, souvenirs, tokens, collectibles, in diverse context and via different theoretical perspectives and methodologies.  From cult to culture, from collection to aestheticization, and propose typologies of relations to things across a variety of disciplines and different periods of cultures.

When Offered Fall.
