Eros and Arcadia

New Add to Schedule

Course Description

This seminar explores the history of landscapes as sites of pleasure, sensuality, and eroticism. Cases will range from the idealized topos of the enclosed garden to the marginal spaces of coastal landscapes and modern urban parks. By examining built works as well as those of myth, imagination, and fiction, we will analyze the ongoing significance of Arcadia and its progeny for revealing the erotic potential of landscape as a medium.
