In recent years, housing history has proved to be a fruitful field of exchange between scholars with different competencies and an exceptional testing ground to experiment with methods and practices of historical research. The course takes housing histories as an observation point to discuss some of the broader tendencies that affect recent studies on the post-war built environment, crossing the different approaches of the landscape, urban and environmental history. This course edition aims to analyze and discuss some of the most recent trends that have contributed to shaping historical studies on collective urban housing. These addressed the study of the residential landscape by analyzing its outdoor and collective spaces, the greenery, the public space, and their facilities. The specific focus on the course will depend upon the number of students and their educational background. Joint teaching activities with Technion IIT (Housing Lab. History and Future of Living) will be proposed.
Good knowledge of English (read, written, and spoken) is essential.
The course will be based upon the collective analysis of several recently published research works that have contributed to shaping the scholarly debate on the subject. Each student will be asked to read a book or a series of articles and critically discuss it with the rest of the class through an oral presentation and a written essay. A collectively edited website will serve as a reference for this collective discussion and a tool for the public presentation of its outcomes. The course will ideally be articulated into an introductory lecture, a lecture series involving external guests, and a concluding lecture. This organization might change depending on the number of participant students, texts/topics to be treated, etc. The course will be taught in English, although the research works discussed during the seminar might be written in several other languages (such as, but not limited to, Italian, French, German, Chinese, etc.). Proposals coming from the students will be welcome in this respect.
