Students examine important intellectual and social currents of the past in order to develop a broad context and perspective from within which to evaluate their culture, their own work as artists, and their lives as human beings. In this final course, students focus on contemporary intellectual debates within aesthetic and social theory. At the conclusion of the course students will have developed paradigms to understand the body from a variety of forms and across disciplinary and institutional contexts.
