COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
CMCT 6135 3.0 Selected Topics in Media & Culture – Cultural Cartographies
This seminar course will investigate the idea that places are geo-coded on cartographic sites and that they hold cultural meaning, however imagined. The
foundation of this course is to consider the places where we locate memory, both in the physical, geographical spaces as well as in the imaginary realms. From
memory palaces to lieux de memoire (sites of memory), we will discuss geographical place, architecture, digital and other media, commemorations, emblems and
symbols. More importantly, we will think critically about agency and place to unravel the varied meanings and intersections of national, personal and collective
memories. While much recent explorations of these ideas have looked at monuments as sites of memory, we will extend these investigations to look at creative
works in built environments, film, visual arts, virtual media and other forms. Ideas about spatialized time, tourism, global networks and even non-place and
placelessness will be taken up. Where is memory located and what is it we bring to architecture and urban space as we consider the places we inhabit, where we
work, and what activities we perform?
Thematic sections will take up ideas of Home and Nationhood, the Museum as Keeper of Memory and Cultural Identity, Tourist Cultural Cartographies, Filmic
Space and Imaginary Memory, Virtual Space and the Amnesia of History, Destruction and Demolition, Historic Preservation, Commemorative Sites, Landscape and
Memory, Gendered Places, Utopic, Mythologized and Imagined Memory and Place, Remembering and Forgetting, or Public Place and Private Memories.
Organized in thematic weekly sessions, this seminar will be centred on discussions, readings and some site visits/field trips. Students will be required to construct a
literature and media review for presentation and discussion in class. A weekly blog will be used to continue the weekly discussions, and a final paper will be due at
the end of term based on one of the thematic areas explored during the course.
