- Introductory Module: critical yhinking about and through artistic images Module 1: The civilization of the image and the artwork as a Pharmakon 1.1 Homo mimeticus (representation, imitation, identification, construction of subjectivities, the ambiguity of mimesis) 1.2 The image that gives us birth 1.3 The image that absorbs us 1.4 The artwork as a Pharmakon Module 2: Case Studies This Curricular Unit elaborates on the thought of philosophers and art critics such as John Berger, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Nidesh Lawtoo, Peter Sloterdijk, Marie-José Mondzain, Georges Didi-Huberman and Tomás Maia.
- This Curricular Unit aims to encourage critical thinking about the role of artistic images vis-à-vis the omnipresence of images in the contemporary world, providing analytical and critical tools that help the master's student to: Generically understand how visual representations participate in subjectivation processes (self-image, volitions and behaviors) in thecontext of our mimetic condition (articulating concepts such as mimetic unconscious, imitation, identification and contagion). Differentiate the artistic image from other visual representations regarding its impact on subjectivation processes (estrangement of theworld and disidentification). Problematize the emancipatory and critical potential of artistic images in consumer society (the artistic image as pharmakon). Apply the conceptual bases mentioned above in the analysis of artistic images in the context of debates, oral presentations and writing ofan article about case studies.
- Mandatory
- This Curricular Unit adopts a transdisciplinary approach in which the syllabus articulates contributions from artistic studies, philosophy, and social sciences. The oral presentation is supported by the analysis and commentary of artistic images and text excerpts and may use other audiovisual materials, such as film excerpts, videos, or interviews. Whenever possible, the theoretical exposition is articulated with the participation of the students through the valorisation and welcoming of questions, the opening of space for debates, flipped classroom, accompanied writing exercises during the classroom, study visit reports and the scheduling of individual presentations by the master's students.
