| Landscape Studies is a burgeoning new field at Smith College and is the first program of its kind at a liberal arts college in this country. This introductory course will be a chronological and thematic exploration of the issues that define the evolving field of landscape studies. Topics will range from ancient to contemporary, scientific to artistic, cultural to political, theoretical to practical. We will consider corporate, domestic, industrial, post-industrial, tourist, landfill, and agricultural landscapes from around the globe. Much of this course is new terrain, so be prepared for impromptu readings, discussions, and guest lectures as topics become topical, issues develop into debates, and events get announced. Priority given to LSS minors, and first and second years. Enrollment limited to 30. | |
