Mapping Worlds: Medieval to Modern
This week-long short course explores how maps have served to order and represent physical, social and imaginative worlds from around 1200 to 1700.
The course will focus on the iconographic character of maps and the complex relation between art and science that is found in mapmaking throughout history. Students will be introduced to a wide range of images from different time periods and made for a variety of purposes, with the intent of drawing together art history, literature, philosophy and visual culture.
