080058 VO Corporal Entanglements: Theories, Discourses and Practices of the Body in Contemporary Art (nst.K.) (2015W)

5.00 ECTS (2.00 SWS), SPL 8 - Kunstgeschichte und Europäische Ethnologie

Starting from the premise that the body is one of the most crucial sites for the constitution and contestation of our historical moment, this lecture offers a conceptually driven analysis of diverse aesthetic practices that situate the body as a central element for their engagement.

Whether as object, subject, tool, medium, technology, image, space, or field of reference, the body has become the site for artists to formulate identity - sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity -- and confront the effects of capital on contemporary life.
