“Recording
Local Histories: The History and Visual Culture of Savannah and the Low Country” will examine how Savannah’s history is typically shared
with tourists, and consider whose histories have been left out or
misrepresented. Topics of study will include a chronological history of
Savannah, discussions of race and gender in the South, urban planning, and the
cultural history of the Low Country region. The research, writing and
documentation of local sites will be applicable to website and mobile site
encounters with the history of Savannah. Class meetings will feature guest
presentations by specialists in the history of Savannah and include several
field trips to immerse the course experience in local history and lore.
Taught by both a visiting
scholar/curator and SCAD faculty member Holly Goldstein, this seminar is
organized around the expertise of the visiting scholar/curator. Students read
and discuss the visiting scholar/curator’s work and other work of comparable
scope, scale or historical context. Through discussions, workshops, criticism
and research projects, students work with the visiting scholar/curator to
expand their critical understanding and the historical and cultural context of
research projects or exhibitions.
