Hinweise:	This Master Class will use a combination of theoretical and literary texts (including short excerpts from Bachelard, Benjamin, Merleau-Ponty, Tisseron, Freud, Marx and Proust), primary sources (including restitution archives, inventories, political treatises, diaries, and memoirs), visual representations (film and painting, largely) and actual objects to think through the particular place of three-dimensional things in modernity. Prof. Auslander will also ask you to read some of her work on this topic so the class can start from a common ground. Most of the theoretical and literary material will be from the first half of the 20th century. The empirical material will range from 17th century England through 18th century France and colonial America, through 19th and 20th century France and Germany and into the present. The Master Class will require the investment of approximately three days of reading and thinking before hand, and the writing of a short ‘think-piece‘ following, as well as active discussion during the Master Class. In addition to the specific reading and viewing assignments, Prof. Auslander will circulate questions to guide your preparation. No previous experience with material culture is required.
