Institution:
Lafayette College
Subject:
Description:
"Morally offensive...", "A danger to society..." Contemporary artistic creations sometimes elicit strong negative reactions, expecially when they provoke moral, religious, or other cultural sensibilities, or when they are perceived as potentially influencing people's behavior in undesirable ways. In this seminar we will focus on such issues as freedom of expression and censorship, the status and role of propaganda, and the interpretation and reception of art, examining them from philosophical, legal, and social points of view.
