HOW DO WE MAP CULTURE IN MOTION?


Describing the interaction of
places, times, languages,
identities, cultural formats,
dominant and marginal
narratives that characterize
cultures in diaspora requires a
multidimensionality that
traditional maps no longer meet.

In todays world, we map


diasporas through digital
narratives, and often perform
culture acting as archivists and
curators.

In this course, students will work


with the cultural objects held in
The Magnes Collection of
Jewish Art and Life, including
art, material culture, books,
manuscripts, digital assets and
data, learning to conduct
collaborative research and
documentation, to create maps
and narratives, and to curate
and publish their findings in
museum galleries and online.
