MONDAYS 1 - 4 PM
Josephine Baker and Rhianna - Red Wine and French Fries - Professional Wrestling and Greek Gods. Outside of time, trends, zeitgeists and images actively sign and signify. Understanding and deploying their mechanisms are among the chief of the powers of artists. Determined Desires applies basic semiotic principles to the analysis of popular culture and politics and from the past and seeks analogous events of the present and speculates the future. Students will form small research groups to discover contemporary analogs for the popular cultural musings presented in Roland Barthes collected MYTHOLOGIES essays (1957). They will present their findings bi-weekly in class using audio-visual media to make their research explicit and to discuss the ways in which their own practices can exploit these strategies. Students will also develop and produce three to five projects using the materials of their choice and choose at least one of their pieces for revision as their final project.
