AMER ST 2011 - The Arts in America

Institution:
Temple University
Subject:
Description:
This course will examine the place of the arts in contemporary America, with an emphasis on the politics of culture. We will take a broad view of “art,” encompassing popular arts, high arts, and what’s in between. And we will look at some examples of how artists and writers have functioned within the contemporary art environment, and within a popular culture and material environment that undermines distinctions between reality and fantasy and between past and present (e.g., Disneyland). Representative figures will be examined from various art forms (literature, music, architecture, painting, photography) within an interdisciplinary context.
