HMAN 1971D - Contested Spaces/Occupied Places: Spatial Theories in Practice Post ‘68
Occupy movements from New York to Istanbul have re-invigorated discussion over political uses of space, hotly debated subject uprisings of 1965/Los Angeles and 1968/Paris. This seminar will provide a framework for thinking through implications of spatial interventions both literal/virtual in the modern period. Topics include Debord’s "Unitary Urbanism"; Lefebvre’s "Right to the City"; Foucault’s "Heterotopias"; Deleuze/Guattari’s “Schizo-Space;” Derrida’s “Cities of Refuge;” Harvey’s “Spaces of Hope;” Weizman’s “Border Territories;” Davis’s “Planet of Slums,” Bourdieu/Latour’s “Network Theory.” Topics will be accompanied by case studies of spatial struggles in context. Students will develop their own research for class presentation of theory in practice.
