Om emnet

OCCAS Moving Monuments: Rome offers a study of historical monuments. The course teaches you about buildings but also about the techniques and approaches that you need to know to become a scholar.

Initially, you are asked to select a monument in Rome, which you will work with and investigate throughout the course. To aid that investigation, a seminar led by six OCCAS teachers presents a spectrum of approaches to architectural research, intended to guide both you and the monument through history – and history through its many mediations.

“Moving” may refer to the transportation of architecture, but also to the recreation and circulation of monuments in various media and materials, museums and models, print-  and preservation strategies. Experts in respective fields, counting Tim Anstey, Mari Hvattum, Mari Lending, Victor Plahte Tschudi, Even Smith Wergeland, and Joe Crowdy join forces to teach you not only about past monuments but also about the methods that enable us to think, write and talk about them.

Læringsutbytte

The learning outcome is twofold. First, the course offers extensive knowledge of buildings (primarily in Rome) and the media and materials that convey them, ranging from plaster to the popular press. However, the course is also about research, introducing students to topics such as hermeneutics, archival studies, visual analysis, and textual interpretation. In short, the aim is to turn students into confident researchers able to command and apply contemporary perspectives on a historical material.

Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter

The course is structured as a series of mini-seminars organized by the OCCAS teaching staff. If the situation permits, one of the seminars will take place in Rome in late September. The others take place at AHO, consisting of a combination of lectures and workshops. In three assignments, you are asked to present different aspect of “your” monument. Simultaneously you will work on your main presentation under individual supervision.

Activities count weekly lectures/workshops, a field trip to Rome (if it is possible to go), and a final 30-minute lecture.

Pensum

A general reading list, as well as lists relating to particular monuments, will be disributed at course start.
