Description

This module introduces key theoretical concepts pertinent to contemporary art and visual culture as a field of interdisciplinary enquiry. It also investigates a host of critical perspectives on the social and historical specificities of cultural practices that emerged across East-Central Europe and Russia after 1989, taking into account transnational subjectivities and dynamics of spectatorship. In particular, it invites students to examine the interconnectedness of contemporary artistic practice, theoretical considerations and shifting political landscapes.

This module is organised thematically, encompassing several major themes: theoretical underpinnings of visual culture studies, curatorship, posthumanism and critical ecologies. Besides becoming familiar with important contemporary practices and practitioners, students will have the opportunity to develop informed opinions about the diverse legacies of communism and sociocultural dilemmas after socialismÌý
