News View All Foreigners in the Modern Age city: draw, describe, understand. University outreach course (2022) The way strangers view a city when crossing its gates is never the same as how it is seen by its residents. Whether they come to participate in civil works or describe its urban features and/or life as lived in its streets and squares, their perception prompts us to reflect on how urban models arose and how a notion as complex as the city was understood in the Modern Age. Strangers may come to a new city for any number of reasons. Engineers to modify its layout; spies to describe its defence system for subsequent conquest; individuals unsatisfied with mere engravings to visit it in person; travellers on their way to some other place to record their impressions; writers to include its description in their narratives...Special focus will also be placed on women removed to unknown cities under any of a wide range of guises. The course will conclude with accounts of what Segovia looked like to visitors arriving between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Course management: Alicia Cámara Muñoz. Head of Art History Department, National Distance University (UNED); Bernardo Revuelta Pol.
