Our aim is to design an aesthetics of space. We think practically about place and abstractly about space--and politically about both--in the fields of architecture, architectural theory, continental philosophy, critical theory, Black studies, border studies, decolonial writings, and literature. We explore spacetime as a spatial unconscious while mindful of the limits of body, our senses, language, and figuration. And we contemplate the dystopian actualities and utopian possibilities of the built environment. This seminar will interest students across all disciplines whose research includes, even minimally, a spatial component.
