A cripistemological approach to creative production focuses on how knowledges produced via Crip/Disabled experience can shape and change the ways we conceive of our respective disciplines—shifting away from essentializing difference and towards the disruption of normative/hierarchical structures in order to challenge the ways in which creative/interpretive spaces and strategies are reliant upon ableism. This course will critically engage issues of access, embodiment, and representation through a combination of theoretical, practical, and historical modalities

Moving beyond the intellectual domain of the cultural elite, this course follows the vitality of the aesthetic through pathways into the pressing cultural expressions of minoritarian life. In engaging such expressions, we will travel with and across the visual to include the particularities of sound, touch, taste, smell, and the full sensorial capacities of the body across world-making practices. To land in the realm of the senses, we will turn to seminal work in performance studies, feminist and queer studies, visual culture, cultural studies, and relational ethnic studies, to name a few fields. By moving through the entanglements of aesthetics and politics, we will pay keen attention to forms of resistance, revolt, survival, everyday endurance strategies, and diverse avenues of labor. Honoring the idea that aesthetics instructs not only representations and judgements of the social world, but the bonds that form between objects, subjects, entities, histories, narratives, we will focus on how the aesthetic challenges transparent representational norms of difference in form and content by underscoring how the minor voice writes the aesthetic into new styles and existences. “This class will be held in the AAS conference room at 1208 W Nevada, Urbana” Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
