Within the politics of affect, space can be gendered and is rarely neutral. This course questions how space is perceived, particularly through the lens of visual art. It examines the spatial relationship between visual and audio art, screen imagery, and architecture through both theory and practice. The course explores concepts such as phenomenology, the memory, bodily sensations and affect.
