P S 3910 - Art, Culture, and Politics (3)

When Offered: On Demand
How do the arts and popular culture motivate people to engage in politics? Film, literature, music, theatre, visual arts – many types of artistic expression play a role in politics. This course explores how citizens use the arts and popular culture to resist symbolic domination, recognize cultural differences, mobilize political supporters, and pluralize public discourse. The artists and movements studied span the political spectrum and engage in local-to-global politics. Different instructors may emphasize different art forms.
