Course content
|
Organized as a set of creative workshops, the Ph.D. optional course will focus on the current interdisciplinary approach of cultural analysis that explores various cultural objects (texts, images, media) on the background of dialogue between literary theory, aesthetics, art theory, cultural affect studies and media philosophy. The methodological and theoretical framework of the seminar consists in three key concepts - affect, medium, and performativity - which transgress individual codes, structural categories and genre specificities in favor of providing a complex analysis of the aesthetic and theoretical activity of artifacts, cultural practices, and media strategies as well as their social constellations.
