Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Therefore, attendance is strictly required! Students are expected to be fully prepared, to have read the respective texts, and engage in class discussion!
The seminar will introduce students to Jacques Rancière’s novel thinking of the relationship between aesthetics and politics. Emphasis will be put on his re-reading of the European aesthetic tradition since the late 18th century; that is, we will interrogate his readings of Kant and Schiller, his counter-readings of both modernism and postmodernism, as well as his interventions into contemporary aesthetic debates (Badiou; Lyotard). As to the didactics of the seminar, it will consist of presentations and class discussions. All texts to be discussed will be made available in form of a reader. The seminar will provide a survey of Rancière’s seminal writings on aesthetics.
