Experiments in Minoritarian Aesthetics credit:

4 Hours

Engaging aesthetics beyond its common understanding as the branch of philosophy concerned with the appreciation of art and culture, this course follows the vitality of the aesthetic through pathways into the pressing cultural expressions of minoritarian life. Students will be asked to take on new learning gestures, to think of study as a minoritarian aesthetic practice, and to think of study writ large as an act of new world-making. Same as AAS 596 , ENGL 596 , GWS 596 , and THEA 596 .
