INT 86HZ - First Year Discovery Seminar: Collectors and Collecting
This seminar explores the widespread phenomenon of collecting from a wide variety of perspectives, including personal (as self-expression), institutional (as social structures of value and knowledge), psychological (as a mode of knowing the world, also as obsession), sociological (in terms of class, gender, sexuality), economic (as a form of market), historical (from evolutionary roots through the history of consciousness), and artistic (as art!).
