| Description: | FACE TO FACE COURSE. CLA-112-01=CLA-112-01F=HIS-220-01=HIS220-01F Pompeii's gritty streets, humble shacks in the Greek countryside, over-the-top villas of Rome's emperors - inhabitants of the ancient Mediterranean dwelled in all manner of different places and fashions. How did these "houses" reflect Greek and Roman life? Who lived in them? How were they organized and decorated? And how did the built environment shape interaction among inhabitants as well as between them and "outsiders?" This class will entertain these questions by blending readings from primary sources with analysis of archaeological remains. A chief goal is to introduce students to the basics of social history as we consider social structure, cultural values, domestic space, and the relationships among them. Key themes include gender, status, childhood, slavery, religion, and law. In addition, non-ancient houses and households - such as a Frank Lloyd Wright house in West Lafayette as well as Wabash dorms and fraternity houses - will offer comparative material and provide the opportunity for further exploration of modern conceptions of house and family. |
