Critical Discourse in Arts

Critical Discourse in the Arts and Media. This
course is required for all MA Aesthetics &
Politics students. Other graduate students by
permission of instructor only, space permitting.
This course will focus on the question of media
and democracy. The lecture series' yearlong
line-up that structures the course normally
ranges from political debates to film screenings
and performances, as well as conversations about
art, architecture, and philosophy. All public
events (once a month) take place either in the
Council Chambers (street level) or in the
Community Room (upstairs) at the West Hollywood
Public Library, located on 625 N. San Vicente
Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA 90069. Speakers
meet
with MA students for a seminar session during the
same days of the events and at the same premises.
A light lunch with them follows. The classes at
CalArts focus on the upcoming events and are
structured around the discussion of readings by
or on the visiting speakers.
