Who owns the past and its artifacts?
In this course pairing, we will examine the enduring ideas of empires and their challengers through the present day. These courses interrogate an enduring facet of the attitude of the imperial center toward places, spaces, and peoples: the impulse to chart, divide, name, claim, and portray. Using historical maps as our point of departure, we will investigate how these imperial impulses, made manifest in shifting constructs of ownership and otherness, extended beyond physical territories to encompass - to colonize - bodies and minds. Probing the visual, material, and embodied legacies of conquest in the Mediterranean context affords insight into the borders and boundaries still imposed today.
