HIST-249 Architectures of Occupation and Resistance
What does the architecture of buildings and cities tell us about systematic oppression and political control? What options for resistance exist in structures of occupation and dispossession? This course examines how the design of the built environment is shaped by social hierarchies and political agendas. We will also examine how occupation and resistance are in constant flux, and how the dispossessed find ways to act politically and to resist strategies of domination through their everyday spatial practices and tactics.
