Inhalte | In this module, we want to unlearn "copyright", that is, a particular social construction consisting of individual authorship, stable works, audiences, personal property, and markets. Not only is this construction far from universal, rather it emerged in Europe of the 18th and 19th century, but it imposes considerable violence on practices that do not fit its categories. For a long time, these have been primarily rooted in non-western traditions that always had very different concepts of works of art and their social life. Today, in the digital word, the problematic construction of copyright becomes visible in the West, in day-to-day practices as well as in many contemporary forms of art and culture, which are based on re-use, flexible forms of authorship and abundance beyond markets. We will start with the notion of "unlearning", which stems from post-colonial theory, and move back and forth between non-western and digital cultural practices. The module will be held in English and all texts will be in English. |
