Description

If you are interested in critical approaches to the impact of globalization, migration and international circulation on Visual Culture, this program is perfect for you. You will be able to explore how art exhibitions respond to issues of globalization, how activism and critical practices intervene in these issues through the arts and their institutions, and how post-colonial experience and theory have moved from geographical margins to cultural centers. This is a 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time master course.

The programme begins with an assessed introductory Global Arts Core Course which is specially formulated for Global Arts students only. This is followed by a further four assessed components: one compulsory Special Subject ('Geographies') and one other choice of Special Subject, the MA Symposium and the MA Dissertation. The Special Subject courses are also open to MA students studying on our other programmes. Students also attend the weekly guest lecture/film screening programme and two or more one-day workshops, one of which is a writing workshop. You have the option of auditing another special subject should you wish to do so, subject to availability and in agreement with the course tutor.

The taught part of the programme, which runs from the end of September to the end of March, offers a framework to help you focus and develop your own understanding of this field. Engagement with the diverse critical, theoretical and methodological approaches on offer will enable you to identify and prepare the area of independent research you will carry out in your dissertation project.

Highlights

Our arena of study is positioned in the aftermath of anti-colonial struggles for liberation and of their concurrent processes of self constitution on the one hand. On the other it considers the demands of the market to produce references that signify clearly across the globe. In dialogue with these tensions, this programme begins the work of mapping out how, in the twenty-first century, creative practices are constituting new realities within globalization.
