Critical and Theoretical Studies 5 (FINA30017)

The subject provides a series of optional seminars, offered on rotation and developed by individual staff, that deal with topics and issues in contemporary artistic theory, aesthetics, criticism or art history. Each seminar program is delivered at a level of conceptualisation presuming familiarity with the artistic history and critical terminology attained from the two previous years of study. The seminar content represents particular research initiatives of the staff presenting, and provides opportunity for the students to explore in depth a specific theme that is relevant to contemporary cultural movements and is intellectually innovative in its field.
