Instructor: A. Tutter
Long applied to literary and visual works of art, psychoanalytic theory has only more recently been used to interrogate and illuminate non-figurative art-most notably, architectural design. In this course, selections from foundational psychoanalytic texts will be read in parallel with contemporary efforts that utilize psychoanalytic theory to explore architecture. Primary psychoanalytic sources will include Bion, Freud, Klein, Kristeva, Loewald, Mahler, and Winnicott. Three distinguished architects and scholars will also the class to discuss their recent work. Requirements will include one twenty-page paper to be presented to the class.
