Anthropology of Art 3102-MART
The post-colonial critique is used to reflect both on practices of anthropology itself, as well as on broader area of modern field of cultural production informed by the ‘West-and-the-rest” perspective and structured by the judgement of taste as one of the main modern mechanisms of social distinction. Appropriation as a means of cultural production will be discussed both in the context of collecting practices of Modernity, as well as of its artistic strategies. However, in continuation, the hermeneutic sense of appropriation as Aneignung will be also brought to the fore and its role in understanding the other discussed.
Current participatory anthropological approaches to art will be discussed in context of community art, engaged and collaborative anthropology, material culture studies, heritage studies and ecological anthropology. During the course each student is required to prepare a short presentation.
