Description
We will explore the question of what art does
(and how does it) as it is put forth by Herbert
Marcuse in The Aesthetic Dimension. In addition
to closely reading and discussing Marcuse's ideas
we may examine a range of work by artists,
writers and philosphers such as Fred Moten,
Adrian Piper, Toni Morrison, Greg Sholette,
Theodore Adorno, Grant Kester among others. Full
participation in class discussions and one final
paper will be required.
