Organized around specific events (such as the anti-globalization protests of the late 1990s, Earth Day 1990, May Day 2006, the spontaneous rallies in the US after the 2008 presidential election), we will examine the role representation plays in social change. Readings will include texts by art historians, social scientists, philosophers, and journalists such as Jacques Ranciere, Alain Badiou, Ariella Azoulay, Brian Holmes and Naomi Klein; we will look at how groups such as Greenpeace, Mobilization for Global Justice, the Disobbedienti, and Rainforest Action Network incorporate visual strategies into their organizing efforts; and we will discuss artists such as Allan Sekula, Oliver Ressler, Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, the YesMen, the Otolith Group, Emily Jacir, and Lamia Joreige -- all of whom make work that addresses a political public sphere. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
