Course Information
Description
This course introduces students to the interdisciplinary study of cultural materials in their historical contexts. Weekly lectures, given by members of History and Literature's Committee on Degrees and other members of the faculty, will focus on types of primary sources (such as film, fiction, music, photography, and archival documents), approaching them from key theoretical and methodological perspectives. Class meetings will feature trips to campus museums, archives, and performances. Assignments will practice the fundamental skills of close reading and historical contextualization, culminating in a research project.
