Protest in Art and Literature

Catalog description

Course examines how art is used as a form of political and social documentary and protest. We will study historical and contemporary examples of art, poetry, and music that aimed to explicitly or implicitly criticize governments or cultural norms. Course will focus on aesthetic questions as well, and whether these works function only as protest or if they function both as protest and works of art. Prerequisite: ENGL 1312 with a grade of C or higher.
