Topic for Fall 2013: Global Paris.

This course delves into Paris's role as a global capital since 1789. It will explore the city's political, urban, cultural, and artistic history as "Capital of the Nineteenth Century" and the subsequent shift in its global status. Still the most visited city in the world, Paris is perhaps better known as a model and image copied and cited around the world from Paris, Las Vegas and the "Haussmannization" of Buenos Aires to its starring role in a range of national cinemas.

Class to be conducted entirely in French.
