Instructor: Professor Aron Vinegar, University of Oslo

Place: Preservation Technology Lab, 655 Schermerhorn

Teaching Assistant: Ziyu Liu, zl2826@columbia.edu

 

Course Description:

 

This class will explore how issues of habit and repetition are not only central to the very notions of preservation and heritage, but also how a more unsettling account of habit forces us to reconsider preservation’s main concerns, presuppositions, possibilities, and failures. The complexities that habit raises will be used as way to explore and rethink fundamental issues including but not limited to the following: adaptability, environment, and use; intangible and tangible cultural heritage; ethology, territoriality, and aesthetics; temporality and history; power and domination; virtuality and potentiality; continuity and change; breakdown and dispossession; racism and anti-racist praxis; persistence, insistence, and resistance.

 

Readings and Electronic Access:

 

*Please note that the readings for each class listed below are available through Canvas, and as e-books, e-articles, or posted as pdfs. You are not required to read all the readings for each class. The important point is to read enough for class to grasp the central issues that are raised in that day’s topic so we can have a good discussion and to help you develop and think further about the implications and possibilities of habit and repetition for your own interests and projects.

 

The readings following the two asterisks (**) refer to essays from Jorge Otero-Pailos’ Historic Preservation Theory: An Anthology: Readings from the 18th to the 21st Century that are directly related to each class topic on habit and preservation and that you might find helpful.

 

Grading and Examination:

 

The grading for this class consists of participation in class discussions and a ten-page essay not including illustrations, reference notes and bibliography, that will be handed in by Friday, March 8 through Courseworks. There are many possible paper topics related to this Master Class on habit and preservation, so I encourage you to choose a way of engaging with the important issues habit and repetition raise that is related to your own interests and concerns. Please talk with me during the course about your ideas for an essay.

 

Use of sources and citation

 

It is preferential if you use the Chicago Manual of Style as the referencing guide for the final essays. You should familiarize yourself with the rules that apply to the use of sources and citations, and the regulations regarding plagiarism at GSAPP/Columbia University.
