CORE 002 SC - The Nature of “Nature.”
What concepts about the nature of “nature” and about the natural landscape are revealed in the gardens and collections at Scripps College? This course will examine how concepts of nature developed between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries in Western Europe and the United States, and interrogate the representations of nature in the visual and performing arts and in botanical studies. Through such investigation we will come to analyze how concepts of nature and representations of the natural landscape in the Western traditions of arts and sciences point to social, political and moral issues within particular contexts of time and space.
Instructor: B. Coats
