Course detail
FaVU-AIS-LAcad. year: 2024/2025
The course will examine several perspectives relevant to contemporary art. We will look at feminist and queer issues of representation and explore some ideas and essential thinkers whose work is influential in posing questions about the environmental crisis through visual art.
The course will look into the texts below through a detailed analysis and discussions; the selected texts, ranging from the disciplines of contemporary ecocriticism, antropology, cultural studies , botany , etc, reflect the state of Anthropocene, the fix in which "humankind" has found itself (in)voluntarily (?). We will problematize the equal share of "humankind" on Anthropocene, we will look at texts which not only ask the classical question What Is To Be Done, but also "what to say"? (to whom). We will compensate the highly theoretical texts offering a trully global/comprehensive insight into the reflection of the state of the world by reading about and watching plants in forrests, steppes, and meadows.
The course will aim at active participation of students. Two classes will be devoted to issues which they will vote about, and the assigned texts will be read and presented to the class by small teams. Two more classes will be devoted to workshops or lectures with invited guests.
