| Inhalte | This course consists in a series of guest lectures by invited artists and researchers who engage with the social and political dimensions of care at the intersection of race, gender and disability in art and art history. The lessons will focus on concepts such as speculative access, crip time, and the critique of the construction of normative bodies. In addition to the conjunctures between contemporary art history, disability theory, feminist and queer approaches, as well as postcolonial perspectives, this course opens up new discursive avenues for questioning the representation of the body and its relationship to a more informed and responsible framing that supports experiences of “complex embodiment.” The class also introduces a new language and methodology to consider how disability aesthetics informs art critical discourse and production. This interdisciplinary lecture series is organized by the research group “Rethinking Art History through Disability” at the University of Zurich, in collaboration with the Master Fine Arts at the Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK. The course will include a mix of in-class and online sessions. Closed captions will be provided. For any other access needs, please contact Virginia Marano, virginia.marano@uzh.ch. An introductory bibliography, general readings and specific texts accompanying each session will be made available. About the lecturers: Marie-France Rafael, holds a PhD in Art History.
