Learning outcomes |
This course has the scope to familiarize doctoral students with some basic theoretical and conceptual tools that enable to understand the multiple relationships between art and thought and the epistemological consequences of changes in artistic practices in recent decades, particularly arising from increasing operating pollination and technology between the different areas, from design to cinema, the visual arts to architecture, the space to the interactive arts.
It is intended that in the end the students are able to:
- Identify and discuss the theoretical consequences of artistic activities;
- To develop a critical understanding of the history, criticism and theory of the arts;
- Understanding the main changes in aesthetic values, historical, material and process of the artistic field;
- Critically appreciate the speeches and artistic events;
- Relate and frame in their own creative and / or academic process the problematics treated.
