Steinberg, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Section Info: Topic: Exploring Modern Cities Description: This course explores the experience and meanings of modern urban life, from the early 1800s to the present, in a variety of global locations, including New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Bombay, and Shanghai. Cities have long been viewed as symbols of what humans are, of what we do and make. We will immerse ourselves in this history and think together about how these places have been experienced and interpreted, especially how everyday city life has been viewed as evidence for thinking about such big questions as modernity, morality, transgression, sex, violence, crime, gender, class, race, ethnicity, power, and resistance. We will enter this history through scholarly writings, memoirs, interviews, primary texts, photographs, film, literature, and art. Course meetings will be on-line seminar-style discussions.
