Section Info:
Early Modern Venice: Ecology, Geography, and Visual Culture. This graduate seminar will explore the ecological and geographical dimensions of the visual and material culture of early modern (ca. 1400-1600) Venice, a city that is famously—and indeed perilously—located on the cusp of the land and sea. Readings drawn from primary sources, art and architectural history, environmental history, social and cultural history, urbanism, and cultural geography. Topics will include the artistic reflections upon Venice's unique ecology; the centuries-old challenge of maintaining the city’s physical infrastructure; art, architecture, and Mediterranean trade and colonialism; Venetian self-representation; architecture, engineering, and terraforming on the Italian mainland; the Venetian pastoral tradition.
