SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN: OPEN ELECTIVE History Research Seminar: Semester 1, 2010 WEDNESDAY 3.30pm-5.30pm Building 10 Level 11 Room 27 Lecturer: Harriet Edquist
READING MELBOURNE: CRIME FICTION In this seminar we will seek to discover in a ‘book club’ setting how five key works of Melbourne crime fiction are inherently geographical and how, by using insights from the field of literary geography we can begin to understand fiction as a powerful spatial and urban discourse. Classes will alternate between general discussion of the novels and mapping their geo-spatial organisation. Students will have the opportunity to explore their own disciplinary focus in mapping exercises and essay format. GUEST LECTURE March 17: Prof. Cathy Cole, author of Private Dicks and Feisty Chicks
