Description

This course provides students with opportunities to examine how practices of governments are manifested in civic values and cultural policy, and influentially reflected through art and design education. The impact of cultural theory upon education and understanding within the arts will be examined as a series of traditions, habits, practices, values and expectations. Students will become familiar with the way in which concepts such as identity, subjectivity, alterity, ethnicity, gender and post-colonialism mediate relationships between artworld and popular perceptions, governmental priorities, and art and design education. Students will focus on a range of historical and contemporary cases to understand the mechanisms and manifestations of politics, identity and power in art, design and educational contexts.
