HIST152 CM - Politics and Art in Europe from the Enlightenment to FascismHow do visual imagery, satire, fiction, and film convey political meanings and critiques? Why and how do political revolutionaries use the arts to help remake society? How do political critics use the arts to make their points in more or less provocative ways? How can we read the arts as political artifacts? This seminar will answer these questions by focusing on William Hogarth and 18th-century Britain; the French Revolution and 1848-1871; imagery of nationalism, race, and colonialism in late 19th-century Britain and Empire; politics, film, and modernity in Paris, 1919-1945.
