VISA A350 - Readings in Aesthetics and Art Criticism

Institution:

Loyola University-New Orleans

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on close readings of philosophical, critical, and theoretical texts from Plato to Derrida. These texts each offer different ways of seeing and valuing visual (or literary) culture. After careful discussion of the implications of each text, students are invited to practice these theories by deploying these "reading strategies" or frameworks across objects other than those which they were originally written around. It is hoped that by becoming familiar with existing critical tools, students will become more confident in finding language in which to discuss work of the present, including their own. Open to all students.
