Visions of Scale: Magnification, Duration, Perspective, Projection
9th Annual Cinema and Media Studies Graduate Student Conference


2013.4.5 - 6
Film Studies Center


The Tree of Life, Terrence Malick, 2011


Featuring a keynote address by Mary Ann Doane, "The Legibility of Cinematic Space: Perspective and Scale," the 9th annual Cinema and Media Studies Graduate Student Conference will focus on cinema not only in terms of how it represents the world through juxtaposing images of varying proximity, but also in terms of the aesthetic experience of the viewer.The conference will showcase the work of current graduate students in the field of cinema and media studies, and features a reunion of past graduates of the University of Chicago's Cinema and Media Studies Program and (since 2010) Department of Cinema and Media Studies.


Mary Ann Doane (Film & Media, University of California, Berkeley) is the author of The Desire to Desire: The Woman's Film of the 1940s (Indiana University Press, 1987), Femmes Fatales: Feminism, Film Theory, Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 1991), and The Emergence of Cinematic Time: Modernity, Contingency, the Archive (Harvard University Press, 2002), in addition to a wide range of articles on film and media theory, feminist film theory, sound in the cinema, psychoanalysis, and semiotics. Her publications on the topic of scale in the cinema are major inspirations for this conference, and include "The Close-Up: Scale and Detail in the Cinema," "Scale and the Negotiation of 'Real' and 'Unreal' Space in the Cinema," and "The Location of the Image: Cinematic Projection and Scale in Modernity."



Conference sponsors include Franke Institute, Department of Cinema & Media Studies, Tom Gunning Mellon Foundation Distinguished Achievement Award, Film Studies Center, The Alumni Association, Mass Culture Workshop, and The Humanities Division Graduate Student Council.

The Figure of Democracy: Houses, Housing, and the Polis

The Figure of Democracy: Houses, Housing, and the Polis


2014.5.9 - 10

The Buell Center Conference on the History of Architecture






There may be no figure more fraught than that of "democracy." We say figure rather than political project, system, or ideology, to underscore the role of the imagination, and of cultural narratives, artistic forms, and material things, in shaping and making politics. Historically and in the present, architecture has contributed its fair share to such processes, poised awkwardly between justice and injustice, equity and inequity. Houses, housing, and cities are among architecture's most potent instruments, guiding the political imagination as well as implementing public policies, to yield thoroughly concrete and enduring results.


The conference, hosted by the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture, will begin with a keynote evening lecture on Friday 9 May by Ira Katznelson, Columbia’s Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History and author of Fear Itself: The New Deal and the Origins of Our Time (Liveright, 2013), at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and continue throughout the day on Saturday 10 May in the East Gallery of Columbia University’s Buell Hall. The conference’s central reference will be the architecture and urbanism of the United States during the modern period, seen comparatively and in the widest possible scope. Rather than de Tocqueville, its ambiguous standard bearer, poised symbolically in the background, is the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright imagined his work as the quintessential “architecture of democracy,” associated with a politics harking back to Jefferson, and an urbanism in which the epic tension between individual and collective life is arguably at its highest pitch.


The conference coincides with an exhibition at MoMA, Frank Lloyd Wright and the City: Density vs. Dispersal, marking the museum’s joint acquisition, with Columbia University’s Avery Library, of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archive. It also inaugurates the Buell Center’s engagement with that archive, by drawing one of many possible frames around it. Conference participants have not been asked to address Wright’s work or environs directly; we have only placed these in the frame. In that spirit, the conference brings together scholars in architectural and urban history, American studies, political and economic history, political theory, and urban anthropology to reflect on that frame. In doing so, we seek to gather ideas and objects, from New Deal housing policies to the prison system, in which the figure of democracy is most visibly at stake.
