IDS 320 - Monuments and Memorials: War, Peace, and Remembrance in the Visual Arts

3 credits
What is the purpose of a memorial? A monument? What impact do these works have on us and the way we think about history? To answer these questions, we will study formal memorials and monuments on public lands from around the world and throughout time. We begin our survey with a study of what is meant by the term "collective memory" and then move to the question of what exactly a monument is and what a memorial is and how the two differ. Along the way we will discuss the role and purpose of memorials and monuments and how these works are shaped by socio-political ideas. The class concludes with students designing a memorial or monument that interacts with the history of memorialization and anticipates future demands on this medium.
