Course/Module description:
Visual culture plays a central role in the contemporary Israeli discourse. How does it reflect the place we live in, collective and personal memory and national, religious, ethnic, political, cultural and gender identities? How is it used to construct memories and history? We will examine how artists quote earlier and contemporary works, reject, erase, dismiss, transform, manipulate, and reinterpret them. We will consider the visual representation and the raison d’être of beauty, conformity and normativeness, protest, breaking of rules and rebellion, and will develop critical and open discussions of these and other topics at the heart of Israeli and Palestinian cultures.
Course/Module aims:
The course provides stimulating discussions on Israeli and Palestinian Art. It aims to develop skills of critical observation and analysis of images, local trends and stylistic movements, changes in interpretation of works, and reading of texts.
A central aim is to stimulate small-group learning, exchange of ideas, and testing of interdisciplinary methods of work.
