Description (ECIAD)

This course guides students through a series of theoretical engagements to promote their abilities to articulate subject positions in support of creative practice. The course draws on a contemporary survey of unique theoretical references to investigate an interrelated set of concerns that includes: language, signification, representation, history, ideology, epistemologies, ontologies, difference, emergence, technology, and new conceptions of ecology. Students are challenged to engage course resources in terms of their own life experiences and to discover ways in which they can theorize their environments as creative practitioners.

This course is subject to priority rules; see here.
