Freshman Seminar: Representing Roman Power: Sculpture as Political Rhetoric from Republic to Empire AS.010.222 (01)
Rome created one of the world’s most powerful empires that dominated the Mediterranean from the 3rd century BCE into the 4th century CE. As Rome expanded its borders, its cities saw a proliferation of sculptural monuments that produced a visual political rhetoric and expressed imperial ideologies. This class examines the close relationship between Roman sculpture and politics from the Republic through the Severan principate. Through close visual analysis of the ancient materials and critical readings of scholarship, this course will examine the role of sculpture in the formation, reproduction, and attenuation of imperial rule.

Obsessed with the Past: the Art and Architecture of Medieval Rome AS.010.431 (01)
In antiquity, Rome became the capital of an empire, its growing status reflected in its sophisticated urban planning, its architecture, and the arts. While an abundance of studies explores the revival of this glorious past in the Renaissance, this seminar discusses various ways of the reception of antiquity during the medieval period. We address the practice of using "spolia" in medieval architecture, the appropriation of ancient pagan buildings for the performance of Christian cult practices, the continuation of making (cult)images and their veneration, the meaning and specific visuality of Latin script (paleography and epigraphy) in later medieval art. We discuss the revival and systematic study of ancient knowledge (f. ex. medicine, astronomy, and the liberal arts), in complex allegorical murals. As we aim to reconstruct the art and architecture of medieval Rome, this course discusses ideas and concepts behind different forms of re-building and picturing the past, as they intersect with the self-referential character of a city that is obsessed with its own history.

Hands, Tongues, and Voices: Taking Apart the Roman Author AS.040.377 (01)
This seminar examines the relationship between writing and selfhood in Roman literature. It introduces students to particular works which uniquely deal with this issue, the epistles of Seneca, the exile poetry of Ovid, the Golden Ass of Apuleius, and the Romance novel of
Achilles Tatius. While participating in a social context in which writing should be a tool to stabilize the self as literary self-care, these authors and their works reveal something contrary, writing’s tendency to unhinge a stable self and compromise it, especially by way of metaphors comparing their bodies to their texts. The wishes of each work’s authorial voice, to be a sage, fall in love, return to Rome, or, simply, be a human, in all sorts of ways are resisted by the topic of the seminar, the materiality of writing. The course will introduce undergraduates to the material practices of writing in antiquity and modern approaches for understanding these interpretively rich works.
