In every field of expertise, there are ways of doing things that make the experts anxious. From literary studies and musicology to the history of architecture and linguistics, the term vernacular has been applied to those forms of expression that circumvent disciplinary standards. Since vernacular is the site of profound interdisciplinary intervention, it belongs to no single branch of knowledge and has no consistent definition. But it is exactly this complexity, this messiness, that makes it so attractive to writers, artists and intellectuals interested in thinking beyond the boundaries of their vocation. In this course we will examine closely the creative life of the outsider, in the various forms it takes, from graffiti and indigenous building practices to slang and folk medicine.

In this course we will examine closely the creative life of the outsider, in the various forms it takes, from graffiti and indigenous building practices to slang and folk medicine. We will track the term across time, beginning with Varo’s De Lingua Latina (47-45 B.C.), moving to the medieval era with Dante’s De Vulgari Eloquentia (1302), before considering its emergence in modern times.
