Learning outcomes |
This Curricular Unit (CU) has as its primary objective that the student acquires in-depth knowledge in the field of Contemporary Art, understanding it — based on its scope and complexity — as articulation and result of different (historical, sociological, anthropological or artistic) phenomena and circumstances. We aim to facilitate the understanding of the relationship between art and (individual and collective) imagination, exploring the way in which, throughout the 20th century and up to the present day, this relationship develops and manifests itself as expression, communication, intention, and commitment, allowing a critical and interdisciplinary discussion of identity, authorship, and their respective nuances. The UC also intends to promote the understanding of artistic production as a plural and transversal phenomenon, resulting from a globalized society, crossed by different discourses of crisis and technological mediation, which Art assimilates or rejects.
