Course Objectives: | The course intends to provide a basic understanding of how the world of art and culture operates. Using visual material as well as critical texts, the course aims to introduce art as a modern category and highlight its role in the contemporary society in the context of other cultural productions. |
Course Content: | This is a weekly elective course open to students from any department. It introduces key contexts, concepts and institutional structures in understanding artistic and cultural practices. How are artistic and cultural products produced, understood and presented to audiences? In what way art and culture are related and how can we think of art as a different category than other cultural productions?
