ARTH 387 - Monuments to Memory: Memorialization in American Culture3 hours
This course explores memorialization in America, especially the increasing need we seem to have as a society to commemorate and memorialize all kinds of personal and national tragedies. By looking at the kinds of memorials we create and analyzing their design, we will gain insight into what could arguably be called our “wound culture,” that is, our desire to make public and bear witness our grief. This course also looks at the interconnectedness of trauma, memory, and place and examines the manner in which memorialization influences our collective memory of events.
This course satisfies the fine arts core area requirement.
