About this course

This programme focuses closely on the visual and historical specificities of the subject; the core teaching has students examining the politically oppositional and �transgressive� impulses of the avant-garde; students interpret �transgression� in the widest sense and in relation to a range of diverse historical contexts: e.g. the anti-art concerns of Dada; the political tensions arising from conflicts between nationalist and internationalist currents in central European art early in the 20th century; the Nietzschian/Bataillean testing of the boundaries of conventional moral positions, particularly regarding sexual identity and the body; the optional courses available to you are closely geared to the research interests of the staff, their content will draw upon current exhibitions and debates.
