feminist perspectives in art productions and theories of art course
The main aim of this course is to contribute to the dissemination of critical knowledge which, from a feminist perspective, analyses fields of artistic production in contemporary societies, revealing their sexist structures; analysing the effect on these of sex, ethnicity, race, social classes; and placing artists in the network of sexual social relationships in order to gain a better understanding of the reason for its unequal social recognition.
Structured in two blocks, the course tackles both theoretical and political problems confronted by feminist researchers in order to continue to construct non-sexist knowledge, such as those artistic practices that question the different dimensions of the “art” institution, concentrating on criticism from hegemonic representations of the sexual difference.
