MONUMENTAL PARIS ARH 4890-001 Syllabus and Schedule SITES OF INVENTION : MONUMENTAL PARIS ARH 4890-001 Syllabus and Schedule, Paris, June 2015 Instructor: Anne Jeffrey MA The schedule below will remain somewhat tentative: learning experiences in Paris rarely submit to advance planning when the city itself in your classroom! But the overall themes will remain. The readings will not change! And, be assured, you will always receive advance notice of any changes. This course does not require Internet access. Located at the end of the syllabus is a brief guide to writing about architecture AND an historical TIMELINE. Bring with you! Very important: Bring your Michelin The Green Guide to Paris and your Class Readings (loaded onto a tablet or printed double sided, less weight). COURSE DESCRIPTION…… We visit the sites together as a group; we prepare for each visit through assigned readings, and discussions/ mini-lectures beforehand. At the site, you will take notes for written responses to assignment questions and for later reference when writing in your journal. Paris, at first, will appear like a stranger to you. But, as we ‘unpack’ the layers of history, iconography, placement, scale and meanings embedded in this city, (caution: this is not tourist “looking”) before long you will know Paris like an amiable companion! Our enhanced viewing of “iconic” monuments, museums and special exhibitions enrichs your everyday experience of the city. At the end of the course, as part of a group project, you will unpack and present to us a monument we have not visited in class. Note: All grades in this course are determined on an individual basis. Assignments and grading Class participation and attendance 30% 15 scheduled class meetings More than one late arrival to class will reduce final grade by one letter. Your active participation during class and during the final project presentations is critical to the success of your learning experience in Paris, and your final grade! I expect to see/hear evidence that you have prepared for each class meeting! Written responses to onsite assignment questions 25% Questions are based on an assigned reading and your observation and reflection on the site/objects we visit. A daily class assignment may include sketching a building or individual features--- no artistic ability is required! The questions will be distributed during class discussion, prior to onsite visit. Bring a light weight notebook or separate pages to each class. Respond critically to the question referencing points made in the reading. A description of the site alone is not sufficient. 500 to 600 word minimum. On Thursday, June 11 the first 5 assignments (for June 4, 5, 8, 9, 10) ARE DUE IN CLASS. On Monday, June 22 the second 5 assignments ( for June 11, 15, 16, 17, 18) ARE DUE IN CLASS. PLEASE write legibly! Grade penalty for late submissions. Journal 25% The Journal provides you with a rich souvenir of your visits to museums, architectural sites, monuments, and neighborhoods --- all of which inform our class excursions. Think of your journal as a record of impressions, observations, and your own reflections about what you’re seeing and experiencing when we visit a site. Be attentive to your environment and daily life as it unfolds around you. Your journal of course can include weekend trips. Try to spend some alone time in Paris! Your journal is your own and there are no rules except write every day. Feel free to add sketches or paste in other reminders of place. You may wish to bring with you a small pair of scissors - in your checked baggage! Tape and glue you can buy in Paris. Have fun with this! Be as creative and ‘old school’ as you'd like! Your grade is based on your effort and engagement in this activity. Journals will be returned to you after submitted to me for grading. Journals & final assignments are due in class Wednesday, June 24th. Final group project 20% The group project may seem daunting now but by the end of June you will have the skills and comfort level to complete this assignment successfully. Grading on an individual basis. Each project location differs from the other, but each group can base their presentation on exploration of the following themes. By the week of June 15 your group will have visited the site and developed a presentation plan. I will meet briefly with each group towards the end of that week to answer questions or concerns. THEMES Brief history of the site, emphasizing significant facts Significance of scale/ornamentation of edifice/grounds Brief description of key objects/contents Assessment of display strategies Assessment of cultural/institutional objectives General atmosphere and visitor participation/ expectations. Conclusion and discussion PROCESS 1) Either in the classroom or after lunch break prepare us for the site, describing how we will navigate the site, key points about the site 2) Guide us through the city to the site and be available to direct us to your key objects, objectives or points you wish to demonstrate. 3) Develop 2 to 3 points/questions/issues for a brief discussion afterwards to conclude the visit. This ‘debrief’ occurs on the grounds or some other quiet spot outside the site. ______________________________ Wednesday, June 24 PM JOURNALS & FINAL ASSIGNMENTS DUE IN CLASS!

David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text 1 David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text Jean Du Verger “The Word is devided into units which be all in one piece and should be so taken, but the pieces can be had in any order being tied up back and forth, in and out fore and aft like an innaresting sex arrangement. This book spill off the page in all directions, kaleidoscope of vistas, medley of tunes and street noises […]” William Burroughs, The Naked Lunch, 1959. Introduction 1 The urban landscape occupies a specific position in Bowie’s works. His lyrics are fraught with references to “city landscape[s]”5 and urban nightscapes. The metropolis provides not only the object of a diegetic and spectatorial gaze but it also enables the author to further a discourse on his own inner fragmented self as the nexus, lyrics— music—city, offers an extremely rich avenue for investigating and addressing key issues such as alienation, loneliness, nostalgia and death in a postmodern cultural context.

  • The Appropriation and Packaging of Riot Grrrl Politics by Mainstream Female Musicians
    Popular Music and Society, Vol. 26, No. 1, 2003 “A Little Too Ironic”: The Appropriation and Packaging of Riot Grrrl Politics by Mainstream Female Musicians Kristen Schilt “RIOT GIRL IS: BECAUSE I believe with my wholeheartmindbody that girls constitute a revolutionary soul force that can, and will, change the world for real” (“Riot Grrrl Is” 44) “Girl power!” (Spice Girls) Introduction Female rock musicians have had difficulty making it in the predominantly white male rock world. Joanne Gottlieb and Gayle Wald note that women’s participation in rock music usually consists of bolstering male performance, in the roles of groupie, girlfriend, or back-up singer (257). Even in punk rock, women are often treated as a novelty by the music press and cultural critics. Male bands such as the Sex Pistols and the Damned achieve rock notoriety while their female counterparts, like the Slits and the Raincoats, sink into obscurity. However, 1995 saw an explosion in the music press about a new group of female musicians: the angry women. Hailed in popular magazines for blending feminism and rock music, Alanis Morissette topped the charts in 1995. Affectionately named the “screech queen” by Newsweek, Morissette combined angry, sexually graphic lyrics with catchy pop music (Chang 79). She was quickly followed by Tracy Bonham, Meredith Brooks, and Fiona Apple. Though they differed in musical style, this group of musicians embodied what it meant to be a woman expressing anger through rock music, according to the music press. Popular music magazines argued that musicians like Morissette were creating a whole new genre for female performers, one that allowed them to assert their ideas about feminism and sexual- ity.

  • Edouard Manet
    Edouard Manet Edouard Manet (mah-NAY) 1832-1883 French Painter Edouard Manet was a transitional figure in 19th Vocabulary century French painting. He bridged the classical tradition of Realism and the new style of Impressionism—A style of art that originated in Impressionism in the mid-1800s. He was greatly 19th century France, which concentrated on influenced by Spanish painting, especially changes in light and color. Artists painted Velazquez and Goya. In later years, influences outdoors (en plein air) and used dabs of pure from Japanese art and photography also affected color (no black) to capture their “impression” of his compositions. Manet influenced, and was scenes. influenced by, the Impressionists. Many considered him the leader of this avant-garde Realism—A style of art that shows objects or group of artists, although he never painted a truly scenes accurately and objectively, without Impressionist work and personally rejected the idealization.

  • The Jungle I Explored Eden-Olympia on Foot, Logging
    Welcome to the jungle I explored Eden-Olympia on foot, logging miles along the simulated nature trails that ended abruptly when they were no longer visible from the road. Ornamental pathways led to the electricity substations feeding power into the business park’s grid. Surrounded by chain-link fences, they stood in the forest clearings like mysterious and impassive presences. I circled the artificial lakes, with their eerily calm surfaces, or roamed around the vast car parks. The lines of silent vehicles might have belonged to a race who had migrated to the stars. J. G. Ballard, ’Super-Cannes’1 Baby, I’ve been breaking glass in your room again Listen. David Bowie, ’Breaking Glass’2 In his novel Super-Cannes, J. G. Ballard describes a residential business park, a certain Eden-Olympia, in which a highly qualified managerial community lives, primarily, it must be said, in order to work, in an exclusive utopian setting on the coast of the Mediterranean. This stylised, if chronically sterile, business development provides its high-flying inhabitants with all the amenities and luxuries they could possibly desire. On the face of it, life in Eden-Olympia is untroubled. The ills that plague the outside world are firmly locked out. There is no crime. Litter is unheard of. The natural world, in this man-made haven, along with its instincts, are seemingly kept at bay by the directives of international business. Eden-Olympia, with its swish office blocks and show-home atmosphere, exudes the specious charm of the glossiest brochure. What is of interest, especially in regards to this novel and the work of the German artist Thomas Scheibitz, is this glaring contradiction between the world as it exists and as man would like it.
