The development of interdisciplinary curriculum integrating business and labor history into professional art and design study.

Through a partnership among History faculty, and Art and Design faculty, "Teaching Business and Labor History to Art and Design Students" will develop curricula intended to educate students about the business and labor history of the art and design professions. Content will explore how this history impacts present-day industry, careers and professional decision-making. Key project elements will include Art-and-Design faculty professional development conducted by History professors; collaborative curricular development; two conferences; and the creation of a resource website. The initiative addresses an expressed need from Art-and-Design faculty and students for a more complete understanding of the historical influences that have shaped art- and design-business management, the creative process, technology and production. The initiative will help ensure that Art and Design students are well-equipped for the professional demands of the 21st Century.

The development of a first-semester interdisciplinary seminar on the examined life.

The development of a first-semester interdisciplinary seminar on the examined life. A four-member faculty team develops a course for first-semester students that explores the question, What is the examined life? The course is organized into three historical units, framed by a prologue and epilogue. In each unit, a relevant example of period art supplements the core readings and a biographical case study encourages students to assess an examined life. With a deliberate focus on close reading, analytical writing, and group discussion, the course immerses students in the very practice they are studying. The prologue invites students to compare Ancient Near Eastern cosmology and Michelangelo's "Genesis" in the Sistine Chapel. In Unit 1, on antiquity, readings of Hesiod, Sophocles, Aristotle, and Polykleitos address themes of happiness, fate, and freedom. A study of Greek and Roman portraiture shows idealized versus realistic conceptions of physical beauty, and Socrates' trial and death provides the biographical lens. Unit 2, on the medieval world, uses Augustine's Confessions as the biographical case study. Students read the Rule of St. Benedict and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales to compare monasticism and pilgrimage, and a study of monastic and pilgrimage architecture elucidates the different traditions. Students also compare the emerging liberal arts of al-Ghazali with the scholasticism of Aquinas. In Unit 3, on the modern era, Shakespeare and Rembrandt illustrate a new interiority and Nietzsche and Freud its later iterations. The social emphases of Austen and Marx are contrasted with the reclusiveness of Dickinson and Thoreau. Landscape painting shows nature as a place of solace and terror, and Darwin's letters supply a biographical view. Finally, in the Epilogue, students consider the contemporary world by comparing the ubiquitousness of self-representation ("selfies" and social media) with Foucault's portrayal of individuals in institutional settings. The faculty meet weekly to integrate the perspectives of their four disciplines (philosophy, religious studies, art history, and anthropology) into the final syllabus. They also develop a series of colloquia with guest speakers, films, and faculty debates as a means to bring the intellectual community of the course to the rest of the campus. They envision the course as a model for the new "Connections" curriculum, and work with faculty to develop additional courses in this vein.

To complete a book-length study of the sculptor Baccio Bandinelli (1493-1560), the most distinguished and hitter Florentine rival of Michelangelo. Bandinelli was one of the most impressive sculptors of his time, and active in the other visual arts as well. He was the most influential teacher of his generation. By studing Bandinelli, we can reconstruct the underlying concerns, standards and ambitions of 16th century sculptors with unparalleled clarify. This approach gives new dimension to Michelangelo's achievement as well, and initiates a fundamental revision of our view of the significance of sculpture itself in the art of the Renaissance.

Michelangelo is one of the great canonical figures in Western art history, but we often forget that during his lifetime and for the next two centuries, his work was often difficult to access or to know in any sense of the word. The availability of printed images of Michelangelo's work allowed a critical discussion to take place, and allowed a method of art historical study to begin to take shape around his work. In this project, I will examine how Michelangelo's art became public--how his works were selected for publication, then edited, marketed, and received in the printed medium.

A comparative analysis of the major protagonists of Renaissance and Baroque art, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.

I propose to complete research for and write a book entitled The Two Michelangelos. The volume will offer targeted discussions, which can be thought of as case studies, exploring works by the major protagonists of Renaissance and Baroque art, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. My intent is first and foremost to give access to the meaning of the art itself, getting as close as possible to the original circumstances of the making and reception of the works. A particular focus will be on how each artist employed the human body as a conveyor of meaning. I will present the information conversationally, through a narrative that shares the approach of a good detective story, outlining questions and then looking for clues to solve mysteries. The individual cases explored will be carefully chosen so that they in turn become keys for unlocking larger historical problems, whose answers have enduring meaning for our own culture.

Four edited translations into English of works of Italian and French women writers Vittoria Colonna (1492-1547), Tullia d'Aragona (1510-1565) and Gabrielle Suchon (1631-1704). (12 months)

Six editors/translators are editing and translating four texts (three in books printed at the time of writing, one in a presentation manuscript) by women writing in Italy and France between 1540 and 1700. Two of the texts are religious, two are secular; two are written in poetry, two in prose. These four texts help make visible the existence not only of women writers but also of a female tradition of writing, certainly within national boundaries but also possibly across them. Going far beyond the "querelle des femmes" tradition, they bring female perspectives to bear in Petrarchan and epic poetry and in moral philosophy (the latter challenging the exclusion of women from education and the restriction of women's social choices either to marriage or the convent). These four translations are part of a much larger project of textual/authorial recovery approved for publication by the University of Chicago Press. The series stands now at sixty-eight volumes and promises to grow even larger.
