Doelstellingen
Students participate in four seminars, depending on the theoretical needs encountered in the course of their study and from the perspective of their own artistic practice and theoretical interests.
Seminars are incorporated into the Master’s programme as a specific form of study, in which theoretical content is transmitted in a flexible and open working structure, subject to intervention and dialogue on the part of students.
Seminars are partly supported by the artistic and theoretical investigations currently being conducted at the KASK, so that students are engaged in seminars that focus on pertinent problems and themes.
Leerinhoud
Each seminar comprises a single unit of study within this segment of the programme.
Seminars focus on specific problems and investigations.
The seminars are thematic in nature and are not intended as overviews. In terms of content, seminars in the Master’s programme may be on any subject or theme linked to the study areas of the visual and audiovisual arts.
The specific focus of a seminar evolves from investigation by an instructor/lecturer.
The seminars may reach beyond the standard limits of specific artistic disciplines.
Madness and Culture
The modern era can be said to have begun with the more or less simultaneous
production of three statements: "I think therefore I am" (Descartes), "All the world's a
stage" (Shakespeare), and "Life is a dream" (Calderon).
This seminar will deal with the
relationship between madness, art, and philosophy in modernity (from Descartes till the
present), examining how the investigation and construction of mental illness has informed
our ideas of rationality and imagination, reality and fantasy, desire and social order.
The
early sessions will provide an introduction to psychoanalysis and we will look at parts of
the films The Century of the Self (Adam Curtis) and The Pervert's Guide to Cinema
(Slavoj Zizek with Sophie Fiennes).
We will devote some time to the anti-psychiatry
movement of the 1960s and 70s and its legacy, focusing on a reading of Deleuze and
Guattari's Anti-Oedipus.
Other possible readings include the Foucault-Derrida
controversy on Descartes's Meditations, texts by Antonin Artaud, and selections from
Louis Sass, Madness and Modernism.
