They are fashioned by those who encounter them after they are built. The essential feature of a landmark is not its design, but the place it holds in a city’s memory. Compared to the place it occupies in social history, a landmark’s artistic qualities are incidental.”

DIGITAL PREREQUISITES

Prerequisites are listed at the end of each course description. Macintosh Basics (or equivalent experience) is necessary for most digital classes. We advise students to assess their computing skills realistically before selecting courses. OPEN LAB ACCESS

Students enrolled in any digital design class have limited access to the eighth and ninth floor labs of the UCC, 55 West 13th Street. Stations in these classrooms are accessible primarily Monday through Thursday, 9:00â€“11:30 p.m., and weekends. CE students registered for a digital design course can use classroom stations when classes are not in session. High-end or commercially unavailable software may have special access restrictions. Note: For students beyond the basic level, we strongly recommend the purchase of a home computer. Open lab time is generally insufficient for more complex design projects.

AIDS: The History of a Generation

The AIDS crisis, which emerged in the 1980s and became a significant political issue in the 1990s, came to define the lives of a generation of young people—primarily queer but also heterosexual. As the biological realities of the disease merged with a homophobic backlash to gay liberation and gay civil rights, LGBT people mobilized around what had become a political and public health crisis extending beyond their community. In this course, we trace the AIDS crisis from its beginnings, when AIDS was an unknown syndrome that seemed to affect only gay men, to later years, when AIDS became an emblem of political oppression and sexual stigma. As activists mobilized to resist AIDS, they reactivated feminist, racial, and class critiques, demanding that the U.S. government was, and still is, implicated in cycles of political oppression and resistance. But it was also an opportunity for the LGBT community to redefine its own aspirations, critically examine its values,

and turn political resistance into politics that could challenge the rampant homophobia and racism that lay at the roots of society’s response to the AIDS crisis.

COURSE OFFERINGS

CREATIVE WRITING SUMMER WRITERS COLONY Discover the writer’s life in New York City. This intensive three-week program provides a supportive yet challenging atmosphere in which to develop as a writer, whether you are embarking on a new writing project or developing a work-in-progress. You and your peers share and critique one another’s ongoing projects in a daily writing workshop moderated by a member of The New School’s distinguished writing faculty. Instructors also provide detailed written feedback on all work submitted. In the evenings, our literary salons bring notable writers into conversation with the students and faculty of the colony. In supplemental sessions, you can try your hand at specialized writing activities such as experimental fiction, children’s writing, or writing a walking poem during a literary tour of Greenwich Village. The entire Summer Writers Colony community gathers for celebratory readings of student and faculty work. To join the colony, please register for a workshop. Find more courses on Literature on page 22.

LITERARY SALONS Literary salons are an essential component of the Summer Writers Colony but may also be taken individually as continuing education courses. A faculty member leads the group in a salon-style discussion of each featured book during the first two days of the salon. On the third day, the author visits to read from his or her work and to join the conversation. Summer Writers Colony students select one salon each week. All participants should read the featured book before the start of each salon.

This is a theatrical book of dilapidated houses and overgrown gardens, of passageways and thresholds, edges, prosceniums, unearthings, and root systems. The unstable property lines here rove from heaven to hell, troubling proportion and upsetting propriety in the name of unfathomable propagation. Are all the gates in this book folly?

From the publisher: “In A Brief History of Seven Killings, Marlon James combines masterful storytelling with his unrivaled skill at characterization and his meticulous eye for detail to forge a novel of dazzling ambition and scope. On December 3, 1976, just before the Jamaican general election and two days before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert to ease political tensions in Kingston, seven unnamed gunmen stormed the singer’s house, machine guns blazing. The attack wounded Marley, his wife, and his manager, and injured several others. Little was officially released about the gunmen, but rumors abounded regarding the assassins’ fates. A Brief History of Seven Killings is James’s fictional exploration of that dangerous and unstable time in Jamaica’s history and beyond. Deftly spanning decades

The study of effective English prose makes the sentence its principal focus. In this course, designed to meet the needs of beginning writers, we examine the sentence, looking at syntax, the parts of speech, and other aspects of grammar. Later we look ahead to considerations of effectiveness and style. Chapters from a grammar and style textbook are assigned. Students workshop short writing assignments weekly. They look at what is correct versus what is incorrect and when rules should be broken, how language changes, how context determines choices, and how these choices develop into a style.

It could be argued that the essay is our most contemporary form, combining the immediacy and intimacy of a personal voice with the exploration of broader themes. Essays can push the culture into its most vulnerable corners, shining the light of reality into dark places that some would prefer remain hidden. Still, it is the essayist’s job to reveal the truth— not necessarily to shock the reader with it. In

Mannes School of Music Since 1916, Mannes has been rigorously training artists to engage with the world around them through music. By practicing—day in and day out—with some of the most revolutionary musicians anywhere, Mannes students have become world-renowned masters of their craft and the canon. Today Mannes has transformed traditional conservatory education by integrating our rigorous classical training with new music, improvisation, real-world experiences, and cross-disciplinary projects.

A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The university official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the university official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
