OSPPARIS 73: Medieval Paris

This course offers an immersive introduction to the history of Paris during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It explores how a sleepy community on the Seine emerged as a cultural, intellectual, and political powerhouse, and how developments in each of these domains spilled over into the others. How did the centralization of royal power shape the rise of the nascent university? How did the abstract reasonings of scholars spur the shift to a new architectural order? And how did an obsession with reason and logic fuel the systematic persecution of marginal communities? Although much of the city's medieval heritage has disappeared, we will trace (through walking trips and numerous site visits) the many ways in which its imprint is still perceptible in the streets and buildings of modern Paris.

In Paris, an array of over 120 museums assumes a pivotal role in the city's historical narrative, cultural identity, and economic landscape. This course centers its focus on these cultural institutions, employing them both as subjects of study and interactive learning environments. From the world-renowned Louvre, with its origins dating back to the pre-French Revolution era, symbolizing the nation's heritage, to the privately inaugurated Pinault Foundation Museum in 2021, we embark on a journey to explore the multifaceted histories and architectural nuances that define these institutions. Our aim is to uncover the essence of their diverse collections, understand the organizational structure of their permanent galleries, and analyze the intricate dynamics between enduring exhibits and temporary showcases. Additionally, we delve into the methods employed to present artworks within these museum spaces and gain insights into the myriad of activities and experiences provided to museumgoers. In essence, this course extends an invitation to interpret museums not as static historical artifacts, but as dynamic reflections of evolving political and cultural preferences.
