Landscape and Narrative
Course Description
This workshop explores the role of narrative in creating, experiencing, and representing landscapes. In addition to examining built landscapes where inscriptions and sequential movement play a crucial role, we will analyze the use of landscape in the narrative arts, including the novel, drama, and film. Case studies include Goethe¿s Elective Affinities, Stoppard¿s Arcadia, Tati¿s Mon Oncle, and Greenaway¿s The Draughtsman¿s Contract.
