The inflection of Seminar I is Ways of Seeing. Every image embodies a way of seeing, wrote the critic John Berger. In Seminar I students will engage with canonical texts that have provided the cultural ground for particular ways of looking at works of art. In addition, the course will introduce students to new writings that embody the urgent concerns and perspectives of our artistic moment. The course hopes to attune students to the ways meaning is constructed and reconstructed in works of art and help them to develop strategies to continue this tradition of rupture and repair.
