How did artists, architects, and engineers from around the early modern world come to grips with the expansion of colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism, on the one hand, and sudden and frequently deleterious changes in climate and the environment, on the other? With readings drawn from art history, social and economic history, and ecocriticism and environmental history, this seminar will explore the relationship between art, empire, and the environment during a crucial period in global history. By reading and talking about how the visual and material cultures of disaster, landscape, the "Little Ice Age," and the Plantationocene developed, we will see how art and architecture helped our early modern forebears to make sense of the rapidly changing—and often iniquitous--world in which they lived.
