( Fall Semester: September 6, 2023 \xe2\x80\x93 December 6, 2023; Monday; 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM; Online Synchronous)
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course offers students an introduction to the history and practice of the philosophy of aesthetics, as a branch of philosophy emerging at a time of great social, cultural, philosophical and political upheaval in Europe. We learn about key aesthetic concepts and categories like beauty, genius, taste,the sublime, and expression, and their relationship to the emergent anxieties about social class and racial difference. We will ask the question: in what ways is aesthetic theory, traditionally thought of as a Western Enlightenment philosophical discourse, still relevant to the cultural products of an increasingly globalized world? We will examine the challenges that contemporary forms of artistic production and design pose to traditional theories of aesthetic judgment, aesthetic experience and aesthetic education.
RESPONSIBILITIES: Teaching and teaching-related responsibilities may include but are not limited to: course outline development, studio preparation and delivery inclusive of lectures, critiques, grading, mid-term evaluations and final evaluations/reviews; including responsibility for health & safety and meeting academic and curricular requirements and deadlines.
