Semester Herbstsemester 2018
Angebotsmuster einmalig
Dozierende Emilio Distretti (emilio.distretti@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn)
Inhalt ‘World governance’ finds its roots in the history and political thought of Modern Europe. It relies on the idea that world matters and businesses would necessitate an internationally recognised status quo, agreed partitions and mutual cooperation between Western nation states. From slavery, through the principle of a new ‘cosmopolitanism’ to colonialism, capitalism and the advent of globalization, spatial structures, objects and architecture have always contained and documented the history of world governance. By looking at a wide range of case studies spanning from slave ships, plantation houses, concentration camps to museums, infrastructure, stock markets, assembly halls and contemporary informational networks the course will utilize architecture, as well as material and visual culture as lenses to study the history of world governance in an effort to historicize the emergence of a “global space”.
Lernziele Throughout the course, students will (I) become familiar with the discourse around ‘world governance’ in relation to visual and material culture, and (II) will acquire a basic foundation of the history of global architecture. Students (III) will learn how to engage with modes of narrating space - between architecture and material culture – and reflect upon their political/cultural implications. In addition, (IV) students will learn how to look at spatial constructions and material configurations as a way to think of bigger historical, political, and social questions related to ‘world governance’ and globalization. Finally, (V) students will be exposed to the main theories and debates around globalization.
