#  Slavic 270hf: Mapping Cultural Space Across Eurasia 

 



**Semester:** Fall

**Offered:** 2014

This course is a year-long bi-weekly interdisciplinary seminar on the production, representation, and significance of cultural space. Eurasia, a region encompassing Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia, provides fertile ground for our exploration of the ways in which mapping (and related forms of spatial analysis) can produce new insights into the relationships among and between cultural sites, systems, and practices. Special attention will be paid to urban space and the physical – mappable – infrastructures that shape cultural life.

The seminar includes individual and collaborative work with digital tools for research, analysis, and presentation. It is open to graduate students and advanced undergraduates interested in pursuing a year-long individual research topic related to the seminar theme; it is also a home base for the Davis Center Fellows for 2014-15. Participants will integrate their individual projects within our larger course framework via a collectively curated digital exhibition and archiving platform.
