Description: SUBJECTIVITY IN MODERN/POSTMODERN ART
*****
Subjects of Desire: Subjectivity in Modern and Postmodern Art and Thought. This course examines the intellectual history of subjectivity and its various representations in modernist and postmodernist aesthetics. In particular, we will consider the intersection of subjectivity and desire by examining the ongoing project of human self-creation through aesthetics, ornament, framing devices, technological apparatuses, and other supplementary objects of desire within traditional humanist discourses to recent "posthumanist" narratives.
