Eerste semesterKésenne Sarah | N. Inhoud
Thwarted fables: poetry, emancipation and audience appropriation
Can artists raise political awareness in viewers through their work? How to read poetry between the lines of privilege and emancipatory capacity? In this seminar we’ll read poetry by authors who write from experiences of queerness and diaspora and who often address issues of racisms and discriminations, such as Kopano Maroga, Koleka Putuma, Radna Fabias, Audre Lorde and Yahya Hasan. Besides that we 'll see films by contemporary visual artists such as Dora Garcia, Robin Vanbesien and Stijn Van Dorpe, who explore how to work relationally and equally.
Besides that, we'll read more thoretical texts fragments by authors such as bell Hooks, Amia Srinivasian and Jacques Rancière. We critically explore the issue of the emancipated spectator by the French philosopher Jacques Rancière, the notion of counter-language by bell Hooks and the relation between porn and feminism by Srinivasian. We pay specific attention to fragmented language and interrupted reading experience, and its political potential. The students will be asked to shift positions and explore their own spectatorship, as a way of enriching their artistic practice.
The master seminar is partly theory and practice-based. The students will read texts and discuss them in reading groups, learn about contemporary art works and make a video poem. Guest lectures and visits can be part of the seminar..
