ARTH 2372 - Paris, “Capital of the Nineteenth Century”


Examines the places, spaces, practices and representations of Paris in the nineteenth century. Tracing the changing faces of the city, we will study the modern city through architecture and urban planning, painting, drawing, photography, popular imagery and literature. Topics include Paris ‘types’; fashion and birth of the department store; Haussmannization; and the ‘spectacular’ Paris of the panorama, morgue, Opera, and World’s Fairs.
